Because it's a couple of thousand miles closer going west than east and I can prove it
Let 0 represent the Prime Meridian at Greenwich England Let 180 represent the International Dateline located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. All longitudes are expressed as east or west of Greenwich.
All latitudes are expressed as north or south of the Equator
There are 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes to a degree and 60 second to a minute . A nautical mile represents 1 minute of arc
The rounded off latitudes and longitudes of NYC USA and Sydney Australia are
NYC 74 W x 41 N
Sydney 151 E x 34S
Westbound math
( 180-74 ) + (180 -151) =106+ 29 = 135
Eastbound Math (74-0) + (151-0) = 74+151=225
Proof: 225 + 135= 360 - Welcome home
Obviously it's a lot more complex than that but you get the idea.

do the south and the east first simply by fact it will be the beginning up of summer season and the climate would be incredible, you would be waiting to connect up alongside with your chum and be waiting to work out Adelaide, melbourne, canberra, the super ocean highway etc. each physique heads to sydney for christmas and new years eve so i advise you head north up the east coast some weeks earlier and shop a step or 2 in front of the crowds. this grants you an benefit while it is composed of searching for a job and that could be slightly nicer while the that is not so crowded. why not attempt and do the finished circle around aus? shop on previous the favored vacationer path and head directly to darwin, and into WA. katherine to kunnunurra and directly to broome. it is the place the real adventure starts off. then down the west coast, ningaloo reef, shark bay and back to perth, a brilliant number of little gem stones of places to discover on the way. i'm going to be satisfied to help in case you go with from now on info.

Refueling and take on more food. It's a long trip! Take your time and wander the airport and shop and eat. God knows the airlines barely give out food anymore. And grab something to read.

It's not possible to fly that long without stopping.

I guess you would prefer in-flight refueling as if you are in a military jet?
