passport - yes - visa - see below:

ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: American citizens are required to have a valid U.S. passport to enter Australia. Americans must enter with an Australian visa or, if eligible, through Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). The ETA replaces a visa and allows a stay of up to three months. It may be obtained for a small service fee at http://www.eta.immi.gov.au/. Airlines and many travel agents in the United States are also able to issue ETAâ€™s. Please note that American citizens who overstay their ETA or visa, even for short periods, may be subject to exclusion, detention, and removal. More information about the ETA, other visas, and entry requirements may be obtained from the Embassy of Australia at 1601 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, telephone (202) 797-3000, or via the Australian Embassy home page on the Internet at http://www.austemb.org/. Visa inquires may be directed to the Australian Visa Information Service at 888-990-8888. See our Foreign Entry Requirements brochure for more information on Australia and other countries. Visit the Embassy of Australia web site at http://www.austemb.org/ for the most current visa information.

Firstly you definatley need a passport. Australia is another country.

You will need to obtain a Visa, contact your local Australian Consulate-General or High Commission (Embassy). For more information.

you need to get out an atlas and look at the huge space of ocean between the two countries. They are not the same country so of course you need a passport. If you don't even know that much you might want to travel in your own country first and pick up a few things on traveling

What a question!

No, you don't need a passport to go to another country.

Just go to the airport and just tell them you're an American and you don't need a passport. They'll understand.
