I spent a few months in Australia, and the thing I did to solve the transportation issue was to just buy an old used car. It was great being able to have a car because I was doing a lot of traveling while there. I would recommend doing the same. However, if you are just planning on staying in one city, then you would probably be fine just doing public transportation. It is easy to find a good working used car once you get there, and just be ready to pay cash. If you can, sell the car before you leave, and it is like you never even had to pay for the car. :)
