I looked into bringing a car back from the UK when I lived there for a while. I think you got the picture that it's going to be pretty much impossible!

One more thing that no one has mentioned, you have to pay import duties + GST on a car if you bring it in as a personal import (owned and driven for 12months+ overseas and you're moving back to Australia). You'd have to pay about 20% of the value of the car, and customs get to decide the value!

God we suck so much when it comes to bringing cars into Australia, please please can we stop propping up the ludicrous excuse for a local car industry, no one buys Falcons and Commodores any more!!
