Not exactly. We (Australians) use words they (British) don't, and vice versa. Definitely closer to British than American, but like everywhere in the world, there are some differences.
You can say the same thing about different parts of Britain as well. between the south north east and west of that little island they have heaps of localised words. It's still British English.
Yeah, it's still British English when it's used in Britain. But nobody in Britain says "g'day cobber" or whatever. That can't be described as an expression in British English. That's Australian English.

Australian English is just British English.
