In a pursuit to ride them all, what are currently all the scenic chairlifts and gondolas in Australia? 

For simplicity, we can exclude the ones at ski fields.

The ones I know off hand are:

-Skyrail Cairns

-Scenic Skyway Scenic World

-Scenicscender Scenic World

-Arthurs Seat Chairlift

-Carribean Gardens Scoresby Chairlift

-Stanley Nut Chairlift

-Cataract Gorge Chairlift

-Adventure World Chairlift

-Perth Show Chairlift

Any Ive missed?

Jamberoo action park 

It's not current, but there's a new one planned for Cleland Wildlife Park in SA. 

TBH I would be surprised if there are any new plans for Chairlifts (the ski lift type like AW/Arthur's Seat.) due to potential safety issues surrounding being able to restrain daft Rider's.

Gondolas/Skyways on the other hand feel like a safer experience and possibly easier to introduce in our Modern Day Australian Theme Parks.

Personally, the old fashioned Chair Lifts scare the shit out of me and for that reason I absolutely adore the experience. Rode one in Rotorua recently and there's  something about sitting on (basically) a plank, unrestrained, feet dangling and basically 100 foot drop directly below you...yikes!

 I sincerely hope we one-day see a Skyway return to gracing the Skies above Sea World. Even with all the new Atlantis additions, this Park still needs something like this, for sure.

Oh, you need to do them all.

If you can't count coasters without including kids’ coasters, then you can't count chairlifts without riding ski fields ones.

I think you should take this to the next level and include NZ as well.

NZ:

Skyline Rotorua

Skyline Queenstown

Wellington Cable Car

 

PS Skyline Rotorua features two identical chairlifts.

Caribbean Gardens in Scoresby, Victoria has a pretty old chairlift! Still in operation I believe. Was relocated from the Whistle Stop park near Frankston about 50 years ago!

Arthurs is a gondola now.
