You don't have to worry about snakes, 'cause the crocodiles eat all them. From Mckay upwards (North) there's salt water crocodiles. So you need to be selective about where you camp near estuarys and where you swim. For that time of year, being cooler the snakes are usually slower and out of sight, sort of semi hibernation. But it's not uncommon to still come across the odd snake at that time of year up north on a warm day.

Up north you will probably get mosqitoes and sand flies, so take some sort of bug protection.
But basicly your bivy bag and just a light fly cover should be o.k.

Sydney area in July will be cold, i'd reckon you'ld at least want a tent for that time of year around there. And Sydney has a lot of Funnel Web spiders that come out at night and are considered a risk.

I'd suggest leave your tent at home and when you get here and then decide you do want a tent just get a cheapy that will do for a couple of months, no problem. ( They do sell tents down here, down under.)
Infact everyone here lives in tents and we let kangaroos carry them for us in their pouch.
