Can someone tell me what are the major differences between, for instance, a British and an Australian accent ?
I wonder if it is possible to have a comparative "sound picture"
of English accents altogether.
Thanks.

The major difference between, for example, the American and Australian accent is that I understand American English pretty easy, but have diffiiculties with Australian English. And with British English, especially when it comes to London Cockney or Scottish accent, it is sometimes even worse ;-)

No, without joking - I can't tell you the difference. I'm sorry.
