Question

I have just turned 18 in Astralia, and am therefore allowed to play Poker in Casinos, and I'd eventually like to be able to go for a holiday to the US and play, but even though I'm 18 in Australia, do I have to wait until I'm 21 to play in the US?

But read the terms and conditions of the poker site that you want to play on, sometimes they will have a clause which allows you to follow your own countries laws.
