I think Australians do well here because we feel a bit naughty, like we’re in America and if they only knew how much fun we were having, we’d all get thrown out, you know.

Meaning of the quote

This quote suggests that Australians feel a bit mischievous or playful when they're in America, as if they're getting away with something. They think the Americans don't realize how much fun the Australians are having, and if the Americans did know, they might kick the Australians out. So the Australians feel a bit rebellious and are enjoying themselves in a way that they think the Americans wouldn't approve of.
