Also, I live in Australia and it is HILARIOUS to hear someone describe us as a "remote Pacific Island". Sydney is a city of 5.23 million, it is wonderfully silly to describe it in such terms

The US has more international travel, but also ~8x the population. As you've already shown, per capita we have comparable or possible MORE travel in Australia, and more of ours comes directly from China

Would it? The Greater Sydney region, which people often ignorantly imagine is Sydney, has a very low population density. This does include some large national parks (one is the size of Liechtenstein) however

That is factually incorrect. The entire urban region of Sydney, including suburbs and parks that are not national parkland, has a density of 1,100 per km^2. The City of Sydney is about 10,000 per km^2, and some suburbs are double or triple that
