For example, how does the Australian accent differ so much to the British which differs to American, even though it's the same language we all speak.

Usually richer people get trained on a language through school so they learn to pronounce stuff "correctly". Thus poorer people pronounce it incorrectly and eventually they both have accents.
If you send settlers somewhere without anyone teaching them the "proper" language eventually their language will evolve differently. They'll shorten words. Emphasize certain letters and so on.
