Australia was (and to some point might still be) the only nation on earth that was like the US "used to be like." Visiting Australia in 1970 would be like entering a time machine and visiting America (the US) in 1930. Australia was a wonderful early America back in the Vietnam War days.
Partly for this reason, many movie makers from the US go to Australia to make films. Canada will do, but Australia is not as frozen as Canada, and has climate (for film making scenes) similar to America (US).
