You don't need a visa to enter Hk and stay there for 5 days, but you do have to apply for a vis ato mainland China from the China Embassy or consulate in your living place.I'm not sure whether you mean the validity or the duration of a China tourist visa. Any way, the validity (entry before) of a visa is usually 3 months from the date of issue, and the duration of a tourist visa is 30 days.  it's possible for you to apply for a China visa in Hk, but you'd better do it in Australia ahead of your trip to make sure a smooth trip.
