I did the trek last year, though it dosn't seem that long ago. I did a lot of my preparation with a pack on the Toowoomba Range – Redwood Track and in the Mt Mee State Forest (just north of Brisbane near Dayboro) and some cardio training in the gym jogging and on the stair master. That was enough to get me prepared for the walk.

I work at the Brisbane International and spoke to alot of returned Anzac trekkers about that equipment worked and what didn't.
Equipment info I got included:
Sleeping bags – get one rated to 0 degrees.
Sleeping Mats – the thin foam mats were too thin and you don't get a good night sleep. The 2 inch self inflating mats were great and you get a good nights sleep, though they are alot more expensive.
A good pillow was also very important.
Where your shoes in and do lots of working.When you return –
Clean your boots, gaters, tents and pegs, poles all your equipment used on the tek so there is no soil, grass or seeds.
Make sure the pole type walking sticks have no bark on them unless you want to pay an extra $30 having them treated.
They all had a great experiance.
