Looking to study abroad in Australia, what are some of the challenges of being an international student?

As the title says, I am hopefully looking at completing post-graduate studies abroad and am wondering if anyone has any tips or advice to share on the challenges they faced. Currently, I live in Canada and am attending university here. I have never lived on my own in a different country without knowing anyone, or have moved anywhere where I have to essentially start over. There are a lot of things I know I am not factoring in like the method of travel and restrictions to what I potentially would be able to bring as possessions. Does anyone have experience with this and could share how they were able to make it work?

Also, if there are any Australians who could shed some light on the area and on the calibre of some of the schools I have applied to: Bond, Monash, Griffith!! TIA!
