Yay, ok here's a question i can answer =]
In sydney, there are so many things you should deffinately do!
Visit these places (if you have time!)
*Have a day at Taronga Zoo
*Visit the harbour bridge
*Go to darling harbour and catch a ferry under the harbour bridge.
*Check out the beaches (it's hot right now) Go to either: Manly, Bondi or Balmoral. those are the best beaches.
*Catch a ferry at manly - it's a great experience.
*If you have time, go to the outer suburbs. I love Chatswood (great shopping), St Ives and Northbridge.
*If you want to see a movie, check out Hoyts.com.au - there are hoyts cinemas everywhere!
In Brisbane you should:
*Check out Queen Street Mall for shopping and much more.
*Head over to the City Botanic Gardens
*Go to the Mt Coot-tha Lookout at the top of Mt Coot-tha
*Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary - the koala's are adorable. also, they are NOT Koala bears so don't say that - you'll sound silly =P
Have tonnes of fun in aussie.
It's the best island in the world =]

June is winter so it can be cool in Sydney although Brisbane should be mild to warm. http://www.whatsoninsydney.com.au will give you lots of ideas about things to do and see.
Brisbane is 1000km north of Sydney and you can drive, fly or go by bus or train. If you are a tall person, forget the bus you won't fit in the seats. There are two trains a day, the night train goes straight through to Brisbane but you don't see anything on the way. The day train goes as far as Casino and you get a bus from there. I'd take the day train and then a bus to Byron Bay and stay in Byron for a day then take the bus north to Brisbane. Byron is a beautiful spot although the town is a bit touristy and tacky.

When your in Sydney definitely go to Bondi Beach, it's great, it might be to cold to swim in june though. I haven't done the harbour bridge climb myself but some of my friends have and said it was amazing. There are also great harbour cruises.

Head to the GOLD COAST when your in Brisbane, IT IS THE BEST PLACE.
Go to surfers paradise, and all the theme parks. Theres everything to do at the Gold Coast.
Wicked stuff.
