It's been a few years since I travelled around Australia but here were some of my favourite experiences:

North Stradbroke Island, just off Brisbane, was a piece of paradise. I recall the ferry took about an hour.

Sealrocks, about 2 hours or so drive north of Sydney, has the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen - and we had them pretty much to ourselves! Totally stunning

A drive along the Great Ocean Road

Sailing in the Whitsundays

Sea kayaking off the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne

Walking in the Blue Mountains NP - this area's worth a stay for a night or two. The train from Sydney to Katoomba or Leura is approx 2 hrs and pretty reasonably priced. The views are great and you can also go canyoning. If there's a few of you it's worth hiring a holiday home for a weekend. There are great cafes in both Leura and Katoomba.
