it's a huge market and US Americans in general are more curious towards new products and like to consume. Also if something trends in the US it is more likely to be accepted in the European market - this is how I feel a lot of innovators feel about the US. Plus Australia is a small country (inhabitant wise not in size obviously) so you have to expand. The US will market seems to be a little more welcoming due to the reasons stated above and the EU has several strict regulations when it comes to importing goods (especially food and cosmetics)
