I served and bartended all through university, so I plan to work easy-to-get-and-easy-to-quit service jobs to keep my costs down.

I don't know what it's like in Canada but to work with alcohol here you need your Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate (aka RSA). A list of RSA courses in NSW is listed here. So be aware you'll have to get that first before you can work.

Regarding motorcycles, I think since you are a visitor and not a permanent resident you would be able to ride with your Canadian license? You would want to check that with the RTA in NSW or QLD.

Fists Up, you're right about that. Even the largest shopping centres are closed on good friday but on easter they will probably be open 1-5 or thereabouts. So take advantage of the extended hours on Thursday if you're running out of stuff.

Most larger attractions would have their Easter hours posted on their website I would imagine.

If you are in Sydney for that weekend you can always go to the Royal Easter Show, which is held at the Olympic park out at Homebush. It's basically a state fair, with the addition of showbags which are promotional bags of lollies, usually about $20. So you can buy an M&M's showbag and it will have a variety of M&M's candy and so on. Some will have costumes or joke items or whatever. They are mainly for kids and it's a big event every year for kids to look in the paper or on the website and pick out what showbags they want (I only ever got one though because my parents are frugal :( ). It would still be fun if you hadn't done this before though, I think.

If you get a chance on your travels up the coast, you should definitely climb Mt Warning near Murwillumbah. It's only an hour and a half outside of Brisvegas, and it's a pretty gorgeous hike.

My family would go visit that area every time we went on holiday to Australia, which was every other year. There's another good hiking area in that vicinity called Binna Burra (directly west from Tweed Heads) which is a nice rainforest with trails. Also, if you do go to Mt. Warning, keep an eye out for the fruit stand in one of the little towns at the base selling Black Sapote ice cream! A black sapote is a weird variety of fruit, unlike anything else you will ever taste.
