Don't go overboard on packing clothes. The best tip I got re long trips and clothes is to pack your favourite essentials then when you need more or warmer things (like you will in Australia as you will be arriving in winter) go to the local charity shop and kit yourself out. Australia has a big chain called 'Vinnies' which is actually the St Vincent de Paul charity and you can find shops easily in the capital cities. When you have finihsed with the clothes, drop them back off at a Vinnies store and they will be recycled.
Bag packing stress!
