Me and the wife cycled from Cains to Brisbaine a few years ago and my advice would be to go for something comfortable like padded cycle shorts and a pair of shorts over the top as you will find when you ride your bike your legs dont get cold but a good water proof top which lets the skin breathe is very important. Spend a bit more on shoes and gloves and if it is warm take your suntan lotion.
Have fun.
