Thanks for everyone's suggestions! Just got back after 2 weeks on the island =).
We hit up the Gold Coast and the beaches (Burleigh, Carrumbin), hung out with some of the coolest marsupials on earth, ate lots of fish/chips, drove on the 'wrong' side of the road with only a couple close calls, and saw some amazing sunsets. It was really quiet around town though but that was a nice experience before heading to Sydney.
Sydney was a lot more like home (SF) and a lot more touristy but still great. Did lots of shopping in Surry Hill and Padington, drank lots of beer at the pub and the NYE fireworks from the North was amazing. I was also surprised that once you get out of the CBD, chains disappeared for the most part. My GF and I were truly disappointed that some of the shops were shut for an extended holiday though. It was great to see the work of so many creative folks at the shops in Oz. Thank you!
