The only disease I can think of that is unique to Australia in that area (tropics) is Ross River Fever. It's very very rare and I'm not even sure there's an immunisation for that.
Otherwise it only comes down to which other country you go through. Many airlines stopover in Asia where there are many more illnesses worth immunising against (Cholera, Malaria, etc). If you're just staying at the Airport Hilton or similar for a night I wouldn't bother as the shots can make you sicker than the risk is worth.
If you were visiting Queensland right now, it could be worth having an Influenza shot (you'd have to find out what the appropriate shot was) as there's a real bugger of a 'flu going around there (but that's just about died out with the end of the season).
Otherwise, really, it's all good.

If you take the train from London to Portsmouth, you can take the Fast Cat to the Isle of Wight (Ryde Pier). From there, you can take the Island Line train to Shanklin. It's an old fashioned seaside resort. You could take the train from Settle to Carlisle and stop off at remote stations in the Yorkshire Dales.

No - although IF you have been in a country known to be infected with yellow fever up to 6 days prior to arriving in Australia - you will require a clearance certificate to enter.

Check with your local pharmacist; he'll advise you what jabs/tablets you might need. Pharmacies are regularly supplied with a list of diseases and necessary jabs etc!! He'll be the best person to ask!

As you depart your plane at the airport, you will be sprayed with a de-lousing spray while still in your seat.
The border patrol and customs like to keep Oz free from any foreign diseases that may infect the flora and fonah.

You don't need any special immunisation unless you are stopping off on the way in a country with diseases we don't want.

No but do make sure you are up to date on your typhoid and other jabs.
