I’m about 2 hrs drive North of Sydney in Newcastle. Also have a US PPL not sure if the CASA conversion is worth the effort for a short stay and the medical is a real PITA in you have any, even minor issue. My US class 3 was nothing, no reports required but my CASA class 2 (equivalent to your 3) has me with 3 specialists reports each YEAR and renew only by CA$A!

I don’t currently own an aircraft (finalising divorce settlement - ouch). Still have a hangar at YMND and there are a good bunch on folk on the field, including an expat Yank CFI, we have managed to convert to a card carrying Aussie (he even drinks Tooheys Old now!) but he still talks like you guys do
