...and for god's sake get out into the countryside if you can. In Melbourne there are thousands of tourists/students from around the world, so your accent probably wont go that far in getting you laid. Out in the smaller regional centres however, you hardly see any tourists (especially Americans, never see you guys out here) and with your accent you'd have to have a face like a bucket full of burnt lego to not get laid on a night out. The secret here is to not make reference to home unless asked directly, and just lie and say that everything is better over here. At uni I had 2 American mates, one from Anchorage and one from Nth Carolina. The Alaskan worked all this out very early and hooked up everytime he went out, whereas the other fella acted far too American for the first 6 months or so until he worked out how to pick up Aussie chicks.
Here are the main towns you should head to:
Bendigo: This is a must. Absolutely full of hot women, many of who would never have met an American, especially one their own age. You'll be a kid in a candy shop.
Geelong: Heard it's pretty much the same, probably more tourist-savvy though... ask Latch about this one.
Ballarat: Cold as fuck, but chock full of female goodness.
Falls Creek/Mount Hotham/Mount Buller: Skiing resorts that go right off during the winter. If you can actually ski you're set, but even if you can't just act like you can and bullshit about obscure American resorts that you're surprised they haven't heard of.
Albury/Wodonga: Ideal as it's on the Melbourne-Sydney train line, and because I live there so you have free accomodation. PM me if you feel like a cheap trip through the countryside, I guarrentee you a root, maybe two.
Shepparton: Do not go here under any circumstance. It's a hole.
God speed my septic friend, may your accent land you more flange than the front row of an Usher concert. Just remember the golden rule: Don't act arrogant (let the Canadians fall into that trap, and they do) and tell everyone that everything's better in Australia. Aussies love Americans, but we love Australia more.
