What was the Australian attitude towards the US during World War 2?
American music has had a surprisingly long influence on Australian traditional music. Surprising because whilst Celtic and British music is obvious the American counterpart has not been easy to identify, especially in its earliest appearances. There is no denying that as an outpost of the British Empire, and taking into account the large number of Irish and Scottish convicts sentenced to transportation, it stands to reason that the broadside and other popular songs, including those classified as traditional folk song repertoire, travelled here and went into local circulation almost immediately. The reason for this quick assimilation is simply the nature of traditional song and the ready acceptance of all things British and Celtic, especially those songs that reminded the singer and audience of 'home'.

Why couldn't women fight in the army?
For a couple of reasons. Firstly, these were different times and almost no nation on the globe thought that fighting at the front line was something women should be exposed to. Even if they had thought otherwise, the practical problems of millions of men and women living and working in close proximity in army units would have necessitated all kinds of extra provisions to assure privacy and prevent sexual harassment, which would have complicated the already big logistical problems enormously. Thirdly, every politician and general would have considered how female casualty figures would have played on the 8 o'clock news; the very reason that make generals even today very reluctant to have women fight in combat troops.
Only in the Russian army in WW II there have been a number of instances of women (officially in support jobs) taking part in engagements, but these were mostly isolated cases.

What was it like when the Japanese attacked Sydney and sank the ferry?
During World War II, in May 1942, three Japanese submarines entered Sydney Harbour and attempted to bomb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Their bombs completely missed the bridge, but did manage to hit the naval depot ship HMAS Kuttabul, which was a converted harbour ferry but was not being used by civilians. Nineteen Australian and two British sailors on the Kuttabul died.
Naturally, it was a frightening time for people living in Sydney, but many did not hear about the incident immediately. It increased suspicion among the Australians for some time. This attack occurred in the midst of over a hundred air raid bombings on northern Australia, including the first bombing of Darwin which killed over 240 civilians and military personnel.
