In terms of geography, the opposite of Australia is the North Atlantic Ocean, between the Cape Verde islands off of West Africa, the islands of the Caribbean, and the southeastern United States.
As can be seen on the map found on the link below, the entire continent would fit (by pure coincidence) in the sea, touching no land at all. The closest contiguous points over land would be the Ilha das Flores (the westernmost of the Azores islands) and the island of Barbuda (in the Lesser Antilles).
The opposite of Australia, in geographical terms, would be somewhere in the North Atlantic Ocean, possibly near the United Kingdom or Iceland.
