I'm wondering if anyone here can help me. I am an English major, but I am writing a paper on Australian English and I am having a bugger of a time with the vowel diagrams.

I need to use this Australian one: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l96/kissyfitt/Photo1.jpg (Mitchell & Delbridge from the book The Pronunciation of English in Australia) It's really difficult to see some of the symbols, but I can try to scan it tomorrow

And the only North American one I can find for comparison is: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l96/kissyfitt/amvowels.gif

They have different symbols! How do I find (or make one myself) that uses the same symbols?? It's for a very small, but important, part of my paper.
