Canadians absolutely LOVE hearing the Aussie accent, JennieG! It reminds them of Crocodile Dundee. Carry a big knife that you can whip out at appropriate moments (such as when chowing down at Montana's or Tim Horton's) and say, "THAT's not a knoif! THIS is a KNOIF!!!" You will be the life of the party wherever you go...and you may even get to meet some of Shane's buddies...the local constabulary. ;-D

I know Victoria Park Avenue well. Was just driving down it a couple of days ago, but more toward the north end of town.
