Thanks fusebox....

About time somebody made the decision !

I hope 3 weeks allows you enough time to see all you want. You will have to plan your itinery well. If you decide to include Victoria on your schedule, I can certainly show you guys some stuff and point you in the right direction for others.

Have a look at the 'Things to see in Australia' Thread for some info, and also
www.visitvictoria.com.au
www.visitnsw.com.au
www.visit-southaustralia.com.au
www.visitwa.com.au
www.queenslandholidays.com.au
www.northernterritory.com

If you don't mind me asking, how able bodied are you ? For the most part the 'touristy' attractions cater well for wheelchairs etc, but some of the less well known things may need to be investigated beforehand.

If by any chance you are in Australia for the period 17 though 20 march, please have a look at this site!

The 19th and 20th are race days for the V8s and with concerts afterwards. I guarantee you can experience "leglessness"

While you're there, will you be driving a rental car? Maybe a Holden Commodore? Just a thought.

good idea

Avis have the best fleet of Holdens.

For something different, you could also try www.monarent.com.au - they have a couple of Monaros, a clubsport (4 door) and and an HSV GTO.
