Without having some experience in one of the jobs in demand you probably won't be able getting a work permit in most (if not all) EU-countries - and it's not advisable working illegally. But since you're under 30 you are the lucky one ;-) You can easily get a working holiday visa for one of a few countries: that's a bilateral agreement between Australia and the other country allowing you to stay and work for a whole year there. Here's some official information, e.g. which countries Australia has such an agreement with:

If you're not picky it won't be too hard finding a job. Sometimes you can stay at hostels for free working a few hours per week for them. Or in seasonal jobs like fruit picking.
About languages: if you can find a job in the tourist section it might not be necessary leraning another languge. Though, in some countries - not only in Eastern Europe but also in France or Spain - most people don't speak English; unlike e.g. the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, and especially the Scandinavian countries.
A good option for travelling is by train (Eurail-Pass):

Or use cheap airlines like:

I met a lot of Germans doing the working hopliday thing alone in Australia. Especially when working in a hostel you will meet a lot of people, esp. backpackers from whom you can get a lot of advice. It's up to you if you need a real friend for such a ';journey'; - I would not hesitate going on my own ;-)
What clothes you need depends which region you visit at which time of year. For some climatic information have a look at this site:

From Europe to Australia flights are usually (a lot) cheaper during the australian winter = low season for Australia, although peak season IN Europe. You might save some more booking a flight months in advance; better check for special offers every now and then.Travelling/work Europe Advice HELP?
It you intend to work then you will need a work permit. You will have to obtain one, separately, for each country you wish to work in.
You said it yourself, you cannot travel to anywhere in the EC as a tourist and work.
What skills do you have that is in demand in Europe. You're no a Brain Surgeon by any chance. London does not need yet another Aussie Bartender.
If you do travel then try to travel with a friend. Any foreign city can be a very lonely place if you know literally nobody.
English is widely understood in Western Europe, less well known in the countries new to the EC such As Latvia or Roumania. Obviously a second language is useful but not vital.
Europe can be very cold in the winter especially away from the coasts. Pack as if you were planning a winter trip to Tasmania, that should be about right.
Many European Countries are very expensive live in, Especially cities like London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen.
Generally the further east or south you go the cheaper it gets.
