I preface this by saying there is a small Halloween culture. Sometimes 4 or 5 families in a neighbourhood and the kids of those families will trick or treat at those houses. Trick or Treating never gets more organised than that. If I get trick or treaters, I hope they brought a trick because they ain't getting a treat.
But there's no buying 40kgs of candy to give out, there's no bands of kids wandering the street. I think the holiday itself seems just to have permeated Australian culture because American culture makes up so much of ours. We get all the themed TV shows and that, but the event itself has never really taken off here.
