<The excuse that America is such a vast country doesn't wash either when over 50% of Australians have passports and 19% of them travel overseas each year.>

Australia has a large land area, but it's nearly all desert. Fly over it and it just goes on and on and on, a big, red wasteland. Drive across the Nullarbor Plain and there's nothing to stop for. en.wikipedia.org

America is somewhat insular, but it's fair comment that the size and scope of the USA means Americans are not so likely to travel to alien lands as others. Living in New Zealand, we bump into ocean after a short drive from almost anywhere. Everywhere is somewhere else.
