Oh, dude, that's an easy one. The US state closest to Australia is Hawaii. I mean, like, they're both in the Pacific Ocean, so it's not like you can just swim from Hawaii to Australia, but in terms of, like, actual distance, Hawaii is the closest. So, yeah, there you go.

Which US state is closest to Australia?-Well, when it comes to which US state is closest to Australia, that would probably be Hawaii. Hawaii is way out there in the Pacific Ocean and is geographically closer to Australia than any of the mainland states. It's like a tropical paradise and has a unique location that puts it relatively nearer to Australia. But still, it's not exactly right next door or anything. But compared to the other states, Hawaii takes the cake for being the closest.
