I've been to Australia a couple times and I've never experienced that. As long as you stay away from the "ugly tourist American" stereotype, you should be fine.
I stayed at UNSW over the (southern) winter a couple years ago. You can get pretty much anywhere with a bus pass. The local area is mostly Asian. The beaches are a short bus ride away - if you've got time you can walk, but it's a bit of a hike. I was able to walk downtown once, but it's over an hour's walk.
Lots of pubs in Sydney have steaks for $6. It's probably the best deal on food that I've ever come across.
