Australian Bureau of Statistics
Provides a vast amount of information resulting from information collected during the 2001 and 2006 Cencus, as well as a wide range of statistics relating to the population. Most general information is free. More detailed reports are available and are charged for.
You can sort by local government, town, industry or many other options.
I did not find this site very useful for statistics on Bed & Breakfasts or Farmstays specifically, as these are grouped with Accommodation, Cafes and Restaurants, if they are even included at all.
Those writing or reviewing their business plans may find some interesting statistics - for example: the increase in the number of people aged 55 to 64. In ACT this figure increased from 9.1% of the population in 2002 to 10.4% in 2006. In NSW, 9.8% of the population were aged between 55 and 64 in 2002, increasing to 10.9% in 2006.
