details are here. In general they are not strict on the weight at boarding (as long as it doesn't look too heavy), but they often are at check-in, so if you're checking other bags they might weight your carry-on. If you're not checking bags you can normally skip that step.

Normal carry on for USA vs AU airlines is very different. Hence aircraft can be boarded in a lot less time.
