Hello Allison, You know, this is something I also noticed when I was typing up my instructions and have been meaning to ask. For me also Australian English is not an option in "Settings", "General", International" and "Voice". I have been meaning to post this and hopefully maybe some of our friends down under like David, Jonathan or Garth could chime in with an explanation.

I followed your instructions, but after I pressed the first language button, I was unable to select Australian English. The only English options I was given were English and British English. I'm really interested in using the full Australian voice as my default.
