Woah I'm surprised my thread is still around! I wonder what else has happened since my departure from the ZBB. We had Charlie, you see...

In my accent (which could be considered one of the more "British" Aussie accents, as I'm from suburban Sydney) the cities are:

/'bɹɪzbn/
/'sɪdnɪi:/
and
/'mɛlbn/

I do however say Australia: əst͡ʃɹæɪlɪjɐ

/pɹiːfɜɪs/
/kwɐɪt/
/'kwɐɪ.ət/

I would wonder how that ejective t got there, especially as it's not even the most easy to produce ejective consonant. Perhaps he meant a palatalized t, if so, use /c/, /tʲ/, /tʃ/ etc. It was ejective. Phonetics really isn't my strong point (well, nothing is, as I speak solely Australian English, w...

And two more vowels, that I'm not sure about (like german 'u' and ü)

This is where the test gets devious: 40-42 say "not allowed", while 31-39 say "allowed". I'm assuming that you haven't noticed this, because it is necessarily impossible for both 39 and 41 to be red. I must admit that I completely missed that. No wonder it seemded a bit repetitive. That brings me u...

Maybe! Did you find that useful?

Yes. It helped with layout, and explaining how to present the ideas that you have.

Also seeing some of your ideas, and how you went about it.

Oh god, why are there so many? My brains are fried! Oh well, here goes: 1. Absence of any phonemic POA for stops further back than velar [half mark for only one stop-POA behind velar, or for prominent allophonic stops behind velar] 2.

I haven't been on here in ages, but I've decided to attempt to become a regular again.

Anyway, creativity. I got bored over the past few days and put my notation software to use.
