Costs

The strength of the AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR (AUD$) will make perhaps the biggest difference to foreign visitors. That said, Australia, is by regional and global standards, expensive.

At the budget end (staying in hostels, rarely eating out, walking and visiting mostly free sights), you might be able to get away with about $8o to $100 per person/day.
A more average budget for most visitors (staying at standard hotels or B&Bs, eating out once a day, going to the full range of sights and taking public transport), would be at least double that, at $160 to $250 per person/day.
A daily budget of over $350 per person/day buys a pretty high-end experience, with smart hotels, guided tours and experiences, meals at a full range of restaurants and the use of taxis or Ubers to get around town.

Note that traveling solo will probably raise any of these per-person-costs by at least a third for all except budget travellers.
