No.
You'll see the occassional house with a few Halloween decorations, but generally it is not celebrated here.
I went trick-or-treating with my friends a few years ago and most people thought we were weird and had no lollies for us. One man was so surprised to see people celebrating Halloween that he had nothing to give us, and so gave us a two-dollar coin each.

Very few people do.If a trick or treater came to the door,chances are the resident of the house would be rather confused and wondering why children in strange costumes would be demanding lollies or threatening vandalism.It's an American custom that has not caught on over here.

Most Australians I know don't.My husband and children who are Irish do.My husband,children and I hang a few Halloween decorations and we make a small bonfire in the back yard(if it's not a total fire ban that day)and invite a few of our neighbours over for a few drinks in the evening.

Yes they do, but NO where near as full on as the Americans celebrate it.
(some) Kids in the neighbour do dress up and do a door knock in their local area to get sweets/lollies etc and most primary schools may have a Halloween school dance the Friday night before.

The USA is virtually the only place on the planet where anyone takes any notice at all except perhaps Germany. Stores here are promoting trash to sell to kids and so I suppose we will have the damn thing thrust upon us whether we want it or not.

Not really, it's something that a few retailers try to push, to make money, but very few people are interested.
We have lived all over Australia and have never had "trick or treaters" come to our door.

Not really...it's an American custom not an Australian one.
Some kids might do it though...more about the prospect of obtaining lollies through trick or treating rather than any serious observance of the holiday.
