I don't think we're any less Euro-aware than Canada or the US, the visitor numbers from Australia are reflective of distance more than anything else. The Australian relationship with Britain however is closer I think on a cultural level, which is to be expected given the large number of Australians with relatively recent connections to the area.

As Acajack touched on there is a deeper cultural connect between Australia and Britain. For instance there are many British shows on Australian TV (in particular the ABC) and a few Australian shows like Home and Away and Neighbours are popular in the UK. In addition sport rivalries the biggest being "The Ashes" series in cricket between England and Australia also serve to maintain this connection between the two.

More importantly though there are still around 1.2 million British born people in Australia, and 400,000 Australians in Britain and people of both countries continue to move to the other in large numbers.

For the UK, I would think:

USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, China, Japan, and I'm not too sure really

I think South Africa/Egypt and the Philippines are in the top 10 non-euro destinations for Brits, Thailand and Turkey are for sure.

About 3/4 of those are British Born People who hold Australian Citizenship, their are just over 100,000 Australian born people living permanently in the UK. Still our biggest Expat market though.

The US is catching up quickly though as a destination for Aussies. Its currently number 2 (at least according to Wikipedia) but its the underlying trends and demographics that are interesting: Australian expats choosing New York over old London town

If you left out Mexican Americans, I wonder what Mexico's ranking would be.

It would still be pretty high I would think. I go there at least a couple of times a year, and know quite a few people who do also. That's not including a lot of people who go there for spring break. Mexico is an absolutely beautiful country and there is a lot to do there.
