Why did the Viet Cong soldiers fear Australian soldiers more than American soldiers?

The Australians had a completely different approach to the Vietnam War. The standard American forces employed a search and destroy methodology, in which the role of US infantry was to establish enemy contact, and then call upon Air or Artillery to decimate the enemy.
Australians on the other hand used counter-insurgency, counter ambush methods. These involved much use of stealth to suprise the enemy, and therefore overwhelm them. The Viet Cong were an unconventional force accostomed to fighting conventional armies, and the Australians fought unconventionally.
Really, the forces that the Viet Cong feared the most were the ROK (Republic of Korea) marines. Document sources say that Viet Cong Commanders advised against engaging ROK unless no other option presented itself.
