You're not wrong unfortunately. It hurts me on a few levels when I hear the pronunciation butchered by pretty much all Australians. I understand why / don't hold it against them, but it's still totally wrong pronounciation.

Australians are notorious syllable droppers in general.

Many of us don't even pronounce the name of our own country correctly in our own language. ('Straya)
