What time of year? What are your interests? What type of budget? This is the most basic info we need to make sensible replies.
We spent four weeks mid Jan to Mid Feb this year...had a great time. Look at our blog for a day by day report with pictures:

click on Jan on the right side and go to Jan 21...that will start our time there. We had a great experience seeing the various parts.
Rebecca, ask away by all means, but I strongly recommend buying a good guidebook (e.g. Fodors, Lonely Planet, Frommers, Rough Guide) - the cost is a trivial part of your travel budget and you'll find loads of well-organised and useful information that you can use as the basis of specific questions to forums such as this. You could also check the official tourism site www.australia.com and individual state tourism sites.
Saltuarius is right - you need to provide some basic information to get anything like a sensible reply. Australia (note correct spelling) is a huge and physically diverse country and what may be a "must" for some may be a yawn to others.
