Got to it before me! Definitely take a look at this thread - one of the BEST ways to study and memorise detail :) The other best way is to construct a detail table (you may remember from the lecture - SO glad that you enjoyed, really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that it helped you out :) ). This table should go by each syllabus dot point, and just cover detail and quotes - no actual content or arguments :) I'd then use the look/cover/write/check method before exams to make sure that I remembered everything :)
Good luck!

I didn't do the HSC, but I did do History in VCE. :)
My secret to memorising dates was by using mnemonics - they seem a bit silly at first, but I did Revolutions two years ago and still remember a lot of dates because I remember the mnemonics.
My class used the system: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, and so on up to I = 9. Then we had O = 0. As long as you knew the century the events happened in, all was good.
So for example, for the Boxer Protocol (Chinese revolution), we had "Grandma / Isn't / Overseeing Anything" - 7/9/1901 :)
This system really helped me in my exam, when I needed to remember a date quickly - I just scribbled down G/I/OA and could easily get the numbers from that.
