If you don't have an Australian forwarding address, I doubt that there is a lot you can do regarding bank accounts, tax file numbers, etc.
Probably best checking out areas you may want to live in, get a feel for the different suburbs, check out the jobs situation, car prices, cost of living, etc.
The validation process is the same as just visiting the country, you get no special stamps in your passport and no comments from immigration control.
I personally did the same as Majj; used it for a good holiday
