Do australians like American accents?
There is no simple answer to that. For one thing, you can't expect all Australians (or all members of any natinality) to have the same thoughts and feelingsabout a thing like that. In the second place, there are different American accents. There could be some Australians who like to hear a Minnesotan speak but not an Alabamian.

How do Australians celebrate Good Friday?
Australians who are of the Christian faith commemorate Good Friday in much the same way as the rest of the western world. There is a solemn church service, either first thing in the morning, or during midday, to mark Jesus's hours on the cross. Australians who do not adhere to any Christian faith enjoy the extra long weekend, and many of them use this short break to go camping.

Why do Australians Trick or treat when it's an American thing?
That is a very good question. Halloween has not really taken off in Australia, and few Australians actually participate, jusging by the complete absence of anyone visiting our home on Halloween in any given past year. However, as the influence of American television on Australian culture has increased, celebrations such as Halloween have made a half-hearted attempt to be introduced. Stores and retailers have made a half-hearted attempt to capitalise on the Halloween commercialism, but some enterprising teenagers still try to get chocolate and lollies by Trick or treating. However, we never see costumes in the street, and few people have "Halloween" themed parties. As of 2010, the Halloween influence remains very limited. A poll held on Australia's leading news site (news.com.au) at the end of October 2009 indicated that 85% of Australians think Halloween should be ditched as it is totally irrelevant, whilst 15% of Australians said they love it and wanted to keep it.
Did Australians oppose our soldiers being sent to fight in the Vietnam War?
If you mean did Australians oppose Australians being sent to fight in Vietnam the answer is EVENTUALLY at first they could not care less and it was seen as a "normal" thing to do. Boys were sent away, I was one of them, no one cared less one way or another and it wasnt that any one started caring, it just became a way to vent anti American sentiment - which was perhaps right in light of the complete stuff up they presided over in Vietnam and their idiot president L B J - I'm sure he must be related to Bush some how ( both Texans...think about it????)
