How is Australia different from the United States?

I am thinking about being a foreign exchange student in Australia. I was just wondering, what do you think is the hardest part being a foreign exchange student? What are the biggest differences between the United States and Australia? Can I still watch the same TV shows there? Are there certain foods over there(like different kinds of snack foods or candy) that I can't get over here and vice verse?
