Sometimes I try to play up the Australian accent/stereotype to foreigners for a bit of a laugh, only to then get in to a conversation with other Australians and realise I was actually playing it down.

For me it’s sentence structure and grammar. I’ll use words like ‘mate’ when talking to non-aussies but they’ll be in very formal sentences. With other Australians all that gets chucked out.
