Answer 2

Oh, dude, Australia is technically closer to America than Europe. I mean, if you wanna get all technical about it, you could say it's like closer to America by a few thousand miles or whatever. But hey, who's counting, right? Just remember, when you're planning your next trip Down Under, maybe consider swinging by the States first for a layover or something.

Answer 3

Well if you include the fact the US has Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, then yes. (Hawaii has been a US state since the 1950's) Not including Hawaii then geographically the US is still closer because remember from California (West Coast) we travel west to Australia, while with Britain you travel very south then east which is too many miles to count.

A flight from the US to Australia takes over 20 hours, whereas a flight to Ireland would take 13/14 hours.
