In response to a similar query I posted this, which should cover some of the bases (start reading at the dot points). Good luck.

Depending on when you plan to make the final move you may choose not to open a bank account. The accounts in Oz tend to charge a monthly fee and to be honest it is just as easy to open an account from the UK then go for a meeting and collect the bank cards when you arrive.

As I've said before and will probably say again Just have a holiday. Most things that need doing to live here are not worth doing prior to your actual move. Wander around the suburbs and enjoy yourself.
