Really depends on where you are in the US. Northeast, yeah, the states there are relatively small. It takes 3.5 hours on an interstate highway to cross Ohio, a "middle-sized" state. Switch to state roads, and that time frame goes up dramatically.
Yeah Australia is slightly different to the US in that it's huge but there are very few people living here. Take the largest state: Western Australia which is literally 4 times the size of Texas. But do people drive from Adelaide (capital of South Australia) to Perth (capital of Western Australia)? No, not generally. It takes 28 hours of non-stop driving. And the thing is, there is hardly anything in between. This means you have to be careful about fuel stops and maybe even have a satellite phone. Look up the Nullarbor Plain of you're interested.
People "from the country" might drive several hours to visit relatives and you might drive 3-4 hours to go to a camping/holiday destination, but if you're headed to another major city, you are most likely going to fly.
The closest other capital city to Adelaide is Melbourne but that's still ~8 hours away by car. But there is a really nice scenic route called the Great Ocean Road which you would usually do over a a few days.
Why do you go on the internet and lie mate? I'm in Perth quite often pop over to radelaide for a frog cake at smoko. I would recommend anyone after a nice walk just give it a crack, it's like 15mins max. I think they put in a bike path recently too.
I'm guessing Australia?
