indirectly clay related-trip to sydney & melbourne, australia

In mid October my husband and I are taking a 2 week trip to Australia,
planning to visit Sydney and Melbourne.

Last week I broke my left fibula near the bottom in a way that required
surgery and will keep me from putting weight on that leg for 6 weeks,
leaving 3 weeks to get walking again before we leave. I was in good shape
before this hiking accident so I'm really expecting to be able to do the
vacation.

I am looking for any recommendations of:

Moderately priced hotels (for AU) or B & Bs near public transportation in
both cities
At this point I think I'd prefer places where I wouldn't need to walk
up and down stairs.
There is money budgeted for decent places to stay with good locations=
.

Ceramic galleries, if any, and other art related activities.

The Melbourne part of the trip is not engraved in stone. We fly in and out
of Sydney.
We are still unsure about the best way to travel between the 2 cities so an=
y
advice/experience would be appreciated.

Any other suggestions? Anything else to share?

TIA

Bonnie
