This is a controversial question! Australia is fairly vulnerable on the world stage and has huge areas of coastline to protect. In the future-as in the past- it may have to call on a larger power for protection assistance.

Australia had a good relationship with Britain and the U.S. during the 1950's. Both countries provided Australia with a number of cultural influences like music and film.
Australia is not shaped by the USA. There are some things the Australian government tries to follow from the USA, but mostly the Australian people do not allow this. Australia has its own culture, its own agriculture, its own industry, and its own minerals. Contrary to what most outsiders think, we even have electricity.
Australia was originally ruled by Britain so that one is easy. Britain and US are on friendly terms, so that probably adds to why we have good terms with Australia. While Australia is now formally independent of Britain, Britain has always been close to Australia because it is the mother country and established the nation in the 1700s. The US as a world superpower is necessary to maintain as a friend because of the position it takes on the world stage in economic and defence terms.
