There's a limit of one city with two stadiums, that's what I think would hurt an Aussie bid the most.
In Melbourne the second stadium would almost certainly be the MRS, since the Docklands is going to be needed by the AFL considering the MCG is a fixture anytime the country hosts a major event, and as one of the world's premier stadiums it should be. That said, the Princes Oval isn't in awful shape and if kept up could host AFL matches in place of the Docklands.
I think Sydney would be the double host, with the Olympic Stadium and SFS.
I'd go:
Sydney 1 (Olympic) - Opening match and semi final A
Sydney 2 (SFS)
Melbourne (MCG) - final
Adelaide (New football and rugby ground)
Brisbane (Lang) - semi final B
Perth (New ground, or substantially upgraded MES)
Geelong (Kardinia Park)
Canberra (Upgrade)
Townsville (New 25,000 seater with 15,000 temp. seats)
Newcastle (Temp seats)
Either Gold Coast, Gosford, or if Hobart builds a stadium.
Training venues could be Wollongong, Ballymore, one of the unused ovals in Melbourne, Hindmarsh, Fremantle Oval, and that stadium where the W-League team plays in the ACT.
Yea, Geelong is just a provincial town, but it seems (to an outsider) to be a good sporting town.

It can definitely be done.
IMO, the main problem, though, is timing.
If they choose to hold it in June/July, it will be Winter and the middle of the AFL and Rugby seasons, which will pose stadium problems, as you already mentioned Bobby.
But if they want to host it in Jan/Feb, it'll be good Summer weather but will be in the middle of all Football seasons, here and Internationally.

Indonesia is also the weakest country (FIFA rankings) to bid, lower than Qatar.
