Not sure what your financial or time limitations are, but if you can only see one side of the country, I would vote for West Coast, having grown up there (San Francisco). I live in Missouri now, and I really wouldn't bother with the Midwest if I were you. New York is also great. If you're into the outdoors, and I'm guessing most Aussies are, I think Cali is the place to go, especially San Fran and San Diego. Also, Yosemite National Park is fantastic for hiking, camping, etc. Have fun. I hope one day I can make it out to your neck of the woods.
