Trip to Australia, looking for cycling options!

So I'm taking a megatron trip to Australia Dec 15th for a month and while I'm in Byron Bay for 10 days (and possibly while Im in Melbourne as well) I want to find a group or at least another individual to go riding with and explore the area. The folks I'm visiting aren't athletic types. I'm not coming up with a whole lot and am just wondering if anyone here knows of any resources I can turn to in order to find what I'm looking for. Here's what I have/dont have so far:

HAVE

1) I have a resource for renting a bike while there

2) A resource that maps out some routes

DONT HAVE

1) Any resources for routes that will take me to towns where I can spend the night (i.e. 2 to 3 day trips)

2) Any resources that have brought me to other cyclists who might be into exploring or joining me on a trip

Anyone with any suggestions? I know its a long shot since I'm apparently going to Mars, but anything will help, Im sure!

Thanks!
