the beauty of post ww2 migration, is that it did not take long before 99% of people integrated and simply became australians. sure - the original post ww2 migrants had their social clubs, churches , and sporting teams - based upon ethnic lines - but 2nd and 3rd generation offspring readily intermarried, and apart from surnames, most have become part of a homogenous australian nation... where the girls like to go to the beach in bikinis, and the guys like to ogle them.
sadly, the muslim culture will not fit in. watso may as well post the link again - but the wife of aly waleed gives an indication of what happens to converts

Barely have the last words of the shahada (proclamation of faith) left the lips of new converts, she said, they find themselves bombarded with rules to adhere to.
“Never mind that the sister doesn’t know how to pray. She is told she must get rid of all her old clothing, because it is too Western and thus unIslamic and put on the hijab (head scarf) immediately.
“Don’t worry that our new brother has only been a Muslim for three minutes. He’s already been told that he has to throw out all his music and get rid of his dog or he’d be committing a big sin.”
The list of unreasonable pressures on converts includes telling converts to leave their so-called haram jobs immediately, even if the person had no other source of income.
The newbies are asked to give up hobbies like painting, photography, dancing or playing instruments. They’re advised to move out and sever ties with their kafir (infidel) family and non-Muslim friends, while female converts are urged to get married as soon as possible.
They are often expected to give up their own cultures and take on Arab, sub-continental, Malay or other cultures because these are deemed to be more “Islamic”.
