"Snooty Adelaidean-received" is better known as the Australian Cultivated accent, and is spoken by a number of Australians not from Adelaide.
In fact the most famous of these people were born completely outside of Adelaide. The three examples listed on Wikipedia are Malcolm Fraser, Cate Blanchett, and Geoffrey Rush. They were born in Toowoomba, Toorak, and Ivanhoe -- the latter two being suburbs of Melbourne.
Personally, I definitely speak Snooty Adelaidean-received, but I do have the excuse of originally being from Adelaide.
