hey there,
for accommodation i would try wotif.com. it will show you some good deals usually. and you can always ring the hotel directly to avoid paying online booking fees.
the melboune aquarium is very good. i went there a few years back and loved it.
i went to the werribee zoo a few months back. i would not rave about it. it was "ok". the other 2 zoos are also nothing out of this world. they are fine.
the great ocean road is pretty famous but i would not recommend it for those who get car sick easily. maybe just skip it and go straight to see the 12 apostles rock formation. there are lots of bus tours going this way. there is a visitor centre in federation square (near flinders st station) that might be worth checking when you arrive. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':angry:' />
you will have fun seeing the penguin parade at phillip island. see if you stop in to see "seal rocks" on the same day. they have a lovely boardwalk along the coast here.
hope that helps a bit,
cheers, glen
