Your trip sounds like it was good ... but cold! Southern Australia is a chilly place in the winter. I hope that you time. Kangaroo Island and the Great Ocean Road are both beautiful. In the summer, there are many satyrinae to be seen. Lycaenids, though, are more common in the north.
You should have seen a good variety of birds. Seabirds are diverse in those areas and there should have been several species of albatross and giant petrels near some of the headlands. I used to organize pelagic seabird trips here in Wollongong and June was good for a number of the sub-antarctic species.
