Hi Safe Landings, sorry to hear about you not getting through the training.
That can happen to anyone, as you'd be more under pressure during the training process than the locals, due to being so far away from home.

It's been a while since an Aussie has shared their actual experience about the US track (path), the U.S regional airlines are constantly advertising for
Australian licence holders that meet the minimum experience. (still ads around every now and then).

Can you please share your experience, where you think it didn't work for you during the training that you just under took?
Was it the transition to the EFIS panel, instrument flying, aircraft speed/configuration?
Im quite sure a person has to also pass the FAA ATPL written (single exam) by the end of the type rating.

Your experiences and advice, could possibly assist any person now or in future, as to what they can expect, during the US style type rating training.

Also, what was your aviation background prior to leaving OZ?
Instructor, charter, RPT?

Also, how many Aussies do you reckon are currently in the U.S at the moment?

Many thanks.
