you shouldn't need to pay for anything, except your flight However, if you are now a US citizen, i believe you are required to file a US tax return for the rest of your life There are tax treaties between the US and AU that prevent you from paying double taxes though, so don't worry.

Read the bottom section of this faq, if you are a green card holder:

US Taxation - FAQ's for Australian Expatriates | Exfin - The Australian Expatriate's Gateway

thats my understanding of everything, as a US citizen also heading to australia in the next year.

No fee to leave the US, just the flight and visa (if required) for the country you are going to.
