Yeah - you'll need an ASIC, but any flying pilot needs one. And life jackets (easy rented), if you want to go coastal, because no one can swim for long in cold southern waters (assuming you don't have a spare engine!)
But the "coastal" route will be straight forward. Plenty of friendly and accessible airfields - Gippslands has a few, Lakes Entrance used to be fine. What wrong with Mallacoota? Merimbula and Muruya are great, right by the beach and easy into town.
There are VFR routes through Nowra, past Sydney (Victor 1), through Williamtown, etc - you'll have to talk to ATC, but you know how to do that, don't you?
Engage brain, check charts, revise radio procedures, and do it.
