I believe you both are talking about different perspectives.
Of course Australia is important to the US, in a major way...in many major ways. Politically, militarily, as well as a range of other interest.
But what rollo says is also true. As far as the everyday American prospective, its probably one of the least talked about nations. We have bases and treaties all over the world gstan. Thousands of them. No one studies them, not in the general population. It may be a surprise to you but the US population does not have interest at all in the countless treaties spanning the entire globe. See, we have relationships everywhere. And as far as where I live, no one talks about Australia. No more than they would iceland or greenland.
Unless there is something big pertaining to Australia on the news. Like the missing malaysia flight, there was a Australian team who thought they found signs of the vanishing plane. And for that team, there was conversation and discussion which mentioned Australia..at least on the news and in the papers. But, even still the general population did not speak much about it. There just arent too many who even talk news these news, we all are much more involved in our lives
