• Search on internet about local rule, speed and etc. Remember every state in Australia might have different rule. Don't be lazy brows more and search as much information as you needed 
• Insurance, make sure your car have full insurance
• Some car park is narrow in Australia, make sure don't hit/ scratch another people car, other wise will cost you big amount even you have insurance because holding overseas licence apparently insurance company in Australia will recognise as un-experience driver so it will cost big money  than you expect even your car has insurance.

• So many road rule and sign in Australia, it is normal as new comer would not know all the rule. But once you disobey, police will give you ticket fine and you must pay! You did mistake, you pay the price. That's it.
• Make sure you have GPS on your car, GPS really help a lot on the road that you never been before.
• Again, every state in Australia, they can have different the road rule. Make sure you know this other wise you will spending money to pay fine.
• Always calm down while driving even sometime people can be scream with you on road when you doing mistake or driving too slow on road hahaha
• Take some driving lesson in local states before you start to drive in Australia, trust me .. this is very helpful as the instructor will tell you a bit about road rule. Specially when you coming from Asia where not many rule over there haha. You spending probably 500 bucks for 5 times 5 hours driving lesson but it worth rather than you know nothing about the road rule in Australia then you get big fine haha
