Hello everyone,
I am new to Fodors and seeking your help. We are a couple in late 40's. We have researched and drafted an itinerary. Please help with us, is it doable, should add or delete anything. We thinking it for Feb 2014. Will it be too hot? Should we postpone?
Our itinerary:

Day 15 - City Tour - Opera House, Madame Tussard, Taronga Zoo, Aquarium, Harbour Bridge

February is one of our hottest months. Whether that's " too hot" for you, only you will know.
The main concern I have is that you're cramming too much into your time - what if the one day you've allowed for the Great Barrier Reef is wet/windy/ you just don't feel like going?
Suggest you have a look at flying times and factor in an extra 60-90 mins + travelling time to & from your hotels for each flight.
Unless there is some hugely compelling reason, I can't imagine why you would stick a trip to Fiji in the middle of your Australian trip. Do it on the way in or the way out I you can make the flights work.
Blue Mountains & Jenolan Caves in one day is too much in one day to do either justice in my experience.
Like temperatures, " worth it" is dependent upon your interests, experience & expectations - not something anyone else can really judge for you.
