Many are just looking for the right man in which case, location is just not all that important. I have come across some ladies who expressed a dislike for American men, just as I have met ladies who have a dislike for German men, or any other race you care to mention. It's really down to what sort of guy you are, and what the lady in question is looking for. Living in one western country provides fairly much the same sort of opportunities and life style as any other western country, be it America, England, France, Germany or Australia. You will have no problems as an Australian.
