Some more info on rhoticity for linguistics-fans like me:
To confuse matters, sometimes us non-rhotic speakers do put pronounce final 'r' sounds.This is when a final 'r' is followed closely by a word beginning with a vowel.
Eg. The 'r' is pronounced in the phrase "water ice"
Furthermore, the funny thing is that while non-rhotics take out 'r's where they are, they also put r's where they aren't. These types of 'r' sounds are termed "Intrusive R"s and follow a bit of a random pattern. Examples:
Eg 1. "Drawing" becomes "drawring"
Eg 2. "The idea of it" becomes "the idea-r-of it"
Eg 3. "Australia and New Zealand" becomes "Australia-r-and New Zealand"
