I have travelled to America from Australia. The only way to travel is to go east - as it is the shortest time. Going west means travelling to Asia and Europe and crossign the Atlantic ocean. It is just not worth it.
Travelling east means you can arrive west coast of the USA before you left Australia. so you gain a day, but it evens out as you will lose a day on the way back.

I flew from US east/west coast to Australia 5 times last year. I lose a day going either direction, and coming back, I gain a day either way. (There is a time zone jump in the Pacific ocean)

If you are going to America from Australia, you will fly east. You will actually gain a day going to America. I have done this before.

You "go forward in time" as you go east. You "go backwards" as you go west. However, no matter which route you take to get their, it will still be the same time and same day there.
