Just about anywhere is safe from tsunamis. Most of the east coast is protected by the Great Barrier Reef and anywhere inland is safe.

The most catastrophic tsunami in recorded history was the Indian Ocean
event of 2004. The energy of this event has been measured at about
1.10 x 10^18 joules. This corresponds to the impact of a solid iron
asteroid with a diameter of over 14 meters at more than 13,400
meters/second.
Yet as powerful as the 2004 event was, it never came near to
propelling water 100 km inland. Even if the requisite energy is pumped
into the ocean water right at the coast, it needs to have components
of velocity imparted to it such that it both heads inland and rises to
an altitude which will bring it down that far in. The energy in a wave
is proportional to the square of its amplitude (height). Such an event
would be so powerful as to possibly be of near extinction magnitude.
Even if it's merely a "blast us back to the stone-age" level event,
you won't be the only one in need of a prime parcel of land.
Everything will be changed. You'll be in competition with lots of
displaced others.
I don't think it'll matter where you park yourself.

Uluru (Ayres Rock) in the centre of our wide brown land! I know that Western Australia has been hit by tsunamis in the past...the one on Boxing Day 2004 that wipes out so many people and places in Thailand etc, hit the west coast of Oz but only slightly. In 1997 one hit our Exmouth WA shores and put fish, crayfish and all other manner of sealife up into the beach carparks...so I would not suggest living there to escape tsunamis (or cyclones...we got wiped out in 1999 by a Cat. 5 cyclone).
Really, anywhere inland would be a good place to hide from a Mega Tsunami...as long as you are a 100 or so km's in.

Depends where the mega tsunami is. If it's in the Indian Ocean anywhere on the east coast would probably be safe. Otherwise Alice Springs? Mt. Isa? Longreach? Broken Hill? Canberra? Bathurst? Armidale? Orange? Stanthorpe?

Mount Kosciuszko, New South Wales is the highest point in the whole Oz island. Going with the concept of "heading for the hills", this might be the right place. Then again Saurabh might be right.
>>Mount Kosciuszko (nicknamed "Kozzy" by the notoriously informal Ozzies) is the highest mountain on the flattest and smallest continent. A thoroughly uninspiring peak, Kosciuszko gets a lot of abuse, particularly from those who claim that the Australia/Oceania continent's rightful contribution to the "Seven Summits" is Puncak Jaya on New Guinea. --from http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=11624
