Yes Australian English is as different as British English and American English. The basic language is the same but the accent is different and some words and phrases are different. But you find that even in regional areas of countries and with nearly all languages.

It is similar, but has its differences as well. Not 100% sure, but I believe Australian English is closer to that spoken in Britian with regards to spelling and slang.

Well, American language is for Americans. Australian English is for people from the third world countries.

British English is very similar to American English. However, each country has their own slang. In England, instead of saying toilet they say "the loo."
I had an Australian pen pal when I was a teenager. She wrote in English.

It's all the same language but the accents are different. The slang and terms used in Australia are different too. I'm not really sure of their slang words and the accent is hard to say with words because they are the same words just pronounced differently....woah that was confusing. So to just answer your question; yes.

Yes, each is different in its slang, pronunciations, and usages. However, they originate from the same language and each can effectively communicate with the other.
Example: If an Australian says he is "going to see a man about a wallabee," what is he going to do?
Answer: He is going to use the restroom.
If an Australian says, "G'day," the Brit might respons "Cheerio," while an American might answer, "Whassup?"

English is the same everywhere. The only part that is different is the accents and vernacular. Australian accents are different.

Yeah. The slang and the accent and some of the words are different. Other than that it's the same.
