If you've traveled through Australia with a tour company, please give some pros/cons. We're looking for both short and extended options, *not* budget, not too sport/adventure-oriented, not too busy. Our hope is to both explore the cities/sites, and rest, and all in 2-3 weeks. Any suggestions?

We are really hoping to hear about some tour companies or travel agents that work in SF Bay Area.

I would consider a tour that goes to most of these places below.
We loved Australia.
We landed at Brisbane mainly to go to the Lone Pine. Koala bear and kangaroo were really neat. The Casino was very nice. We walked around South Bank and enjoyed the Dream World and Sea World.
Then we went North of Cairns and were really blown away by the Rain Forest with the Wild Experience Tour on electric boat, jeep and walking in the forest. Of course, more kangaroo and crocodiles encounter, etc. at the Animal Habitat. I was the only one in the cold water of the billabong.
Next was the neatest flight on a little plane to Lizard Island. Wonderful set up and food! Snorkeling was fun with exciting experience on a little boat in the rough water. The best thing there was the private picnic on the beach! Flying over the Great Barrier Reefs was heavenly and the lizards on the ground added a "LITTLE" something to the whole trip.
Back to Cairns, we loved the day trip to the Cultural Center, Butterfly Sanctuary and Kuranda Scenic Railway ride back down to town.
Then we flew back from Sydney. The highlight in Sydney was the bridge walk. The Sydney harbor was just beautiful. We rode the ferry around for fun.
The special part about Australia was about the people. Australians were really nice and helpful. We love to go back soon.
Please look at a few pictures below.
Have a fun trip.

Australia is a very big country, as big as the US ( about ) and I don't know of any tour co's that would even try let alone suggest how you could see most of the country in that time ....... see the world ......go to NZ ......you will see everything from desert to the swiss alps in 3 weeks. :)
