When I drove around California, Nevada and Arizona, I was surprised by how close everything was and what there was to see.

Also, remember Australia is an expensive country, though much less so for Americans now with the Australian dollar having depreciated so much. But the big difference I found is accommodation is quite cheap in the US if you shop around, whereas it here it certainly is not.
Flying is looking like my best option at this point for some things that I want to do. Thanks!
