what's your budget? are you planning on going within Oz or overseas? That'll be the deciding factor of the final cost...
I went with my gf to Kuala Lumpur, Switzerland, Russia (to visit relo's) and Austria, and that ended up costing close to about $5000 each including airfare, but that was for a total of 1 month or so...

I went back to Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, and many other places there as I got relo's), Singapore (uncle there) and China (gf's relo's are there). Travelled around China as well while I was there. Ended up costing me around the $4k mark and her around the $5k mark (she shops a lot more than me). I was overseas for a good 2 months. So, it takes lots of money. Depending on how long you go for, and if there are relatives for you to bum food and accomodation off, it could get real expensive, real fast.

i had a trip around scandinavia last year. it was cold.. but it was awesome. especially since i never actually seen snow before that.
stockholm would've been my favorite out of all... the capital cities are amazing.
i was lucky i had relatives to stay with in sweden. otherwise i probably would have been broke in less than 2 weeks.

in australia can't beat the great ocean road although would be a long trip if you were to drive down, that or being in qld you could do NT.
My bro just came back from the UK spent 11 weeks over there for uni and holidays and it cost around 6-8K, he loved scotland

It really depends on what you want to do/see, how you want to stay and how much you want to spend.
My girlfriend and I did 6 weeks in Europe a year and a bit ago pretty comfortably for $10,000 each. We leased a car for almost the whole time we were over there, driving all over italy, spain & france. We stayed in reasonably cheap bed & breakfasts and rarely in hostels. Only ate out nicely a couple of times though as shopping in supermarkets saves a bundle. This could have been done cheaper but we liked having our own room every night and I liked to sample quite a bit of the local ale 
Quite a few years ago I took a boarding holiday in Canada. But being single and going with a group of pretty well off people I ended up overspending quite a bit to the tune of about $15,000 for a 5 week trip. It was a blast though 
A friend of mine just got back from thailand in which he spent a month or so staying between monastaries and trekking about. He spent his last few nights partying in Bankok, but even then the price is negligible. I can ask him, but I think the total cost of his 6-7week holiday was under $2,000 inc airfares
I'm currently booking a trip for my girlfriend and I to South America in June this year. At the moment including airfares, a couple of week tour, a little bit of skiiing, food etc. I think it's going to cost us about $6,000 each for a month.
It really depends on how you want to do it. If you want to do it on a shoe string then I'm probably not the best person to ask advice off. But if you want to do it fairly cheap, but still comfortable, then I'm sure I can point you in a few decent directions.
Cheers,
Dave
