After a long and exhaustive exploration of the subject with the aid of Google, I have ascertained that the Geico Gekko is Cockney, not Australian.  I shall never be able to look at the little guy again in the same way.

    I've never been able to bear the sight of him since the dreadful attempt of a New York (Brooklyn, even?) accent in a commercial that aired a few years back.

    I think one's taste in gekkos is a very personal thing.
