Hi. I just tried with
<http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/vector-features.html> and it
worked. Here is what I did:

- open <http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/vector-features.html> in FireFox
- open the FireBug console and enter:

>>> var format = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON();
>>> var features = format.read('{"type": "FeatureCollection","features":[{"type": "Feature","fid": 14583,"geometry": {"type": "Point","coordinates": [135.4092, -26.461317 ]},"properties": {"name": "3 O\'Clock Creek camping area","fid": 14583,"icon":"openlayers/23"}}]}');
>>> map.layers[1].addFeatures(features);

- unzoom to see the Australia, and the point is displayed

So at this point I don't know why you're having problem with this
GeoJSON string.
