Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.
Certain British accents (like a London accent) have an 'aw' in particular sound like 'or'. Not sure about Australian.
