I wish you luck man, I really do. God Speed.
Also take note that Melbourne is very cold in summer compared to Singapore. Average low is 15C and average high is 27C. April to November is uniformly cold, especially at night and your best observing buddy will be a coat and a flask of hot coffee.
here's a real life experience - last JANUARY, I went observing with a couple of other guys on the Mornington Peninsula, and we all had to wear coats and drink coffee because it was so cold. The scope was dripping wet with dew and yeah it just illustrates how cold and unpleasant Melbourne can be even in summer.
