I would imagine that the sight of an American carrier with 5,000 soon to be drunken swabbies armed with fists full of yankee dollars pleased the Aussies to no end.

Damned ugly Americans. Nobody would put up with us if we didn't pay them to.

There's a story about a boatload of GIs shipping into Australia to protect them during WW2. They were disembarking and there were Aussie soldiers passing them on the quay heading for a ship to New Guinea. Some GI made a comment ,"Oh don't worry boys we'll take good care of your girlfriends!" Started a riot right there on the dock that took every MP in port to put a stop to. Dang ungrateful of 'em.
