CASA Regulations

I'll be doing some private flying in Australia, in a US registered aircraft, and I'm trying to study AU regulations. The ComLaw website, as redirected by CASA, is confusing at best. There's CAO, CASR, and CAR, and none of them seem to outline what I'm searching for. For example, when looking up the minimum weather requirements for VFR (not necessarily what I'm looking for) I get this from CAR Volume 3, Part 12, Division 3:

Subject to subregulation (4), the pilot in command must not conduct a V.F.R. flight if:
(a) the flight visibility during that flight is not equal to or greater than the applicable distance determined by CASA; and
(b) the vertical and horizontal distances from cloud are not equal to or greater than the applicable distances determined by CASA.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.
This tells me nothing other than in AU you have regulations that tell you CASA has regulations.

Can someone out there give me vector in the right direction cuz I feel like a Swiss RJ100 Captain flying on standby instruments.
