We are flying into Sydney and of course the Oprah House is on the agenda and we're going to the Great Barrier Reef. These are my husbands choices he wants me to pick out some places too. I have no clue what to see....I want it to be something amazing that most people don't get to see. Any suggestions?

Take an Aborignal guided tour - http://www.ananguwaai.com.au/anangu_tours/
Apart from that where ever you are in Aussie there are 'Big Things' - check out the guide http://www.bigthings.com.au
or http://www.travelmate.com.au/BigThings/BigThings.asp
or http://home.alphalink.com.au/~richardb/page4.htm
If you are going out on the reef from Cairns - ... while you are here a trip to the Aboriginal Culture Park http://www.tjapukai.com.au and on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. http://www.skyrail.com.au
(same car park, right next door to each other)
The skyrail takes you up to the rainforest village of Kuranda. http://www.kuranda.org - or take the skyrail up one way and train back down to the city. Kuranda Scenic Railway http://www.ksr.qr.com.au
A must see !

Depends on what you like and how much time you have. If you like relaxing and just chilling out. Townsville in North Queensland. If you like wine, maybe the barossa Valley or Hunter Valley. If you like Theme Parks, Gold Coast (Queensland). If you like animals, a zoo or animal park.
What about hiring a Campervan and travel the coast from Sydney to Cairns and then fly out of Cairns back home or the other way around.
The options are endless, but like i said it all depends on money, time and what u want to do.

A drive through bottle-o to get alcohol. I heard you dont have them. btw im australian. If you're staying in the east then make a day at a public beach.
But besides the opera house and harbour bridge theres not much in terms of man made.

There are so many things to see and do whislt your here, too many to name, and given your sparse details it's difficult to anticipate preference for sight seeing.
If you wish, send me an e-mail with a little more detail, I will research some places and events that might interest you.
Good luck

Try coming to Adelaide, South Australia. here, we are known for our vineyards. Our wine is world-known. Also, here in SA, there is Kangaroo Island. here you can see koalas and other native animals as well as nature.
