G'day Justin & welcome! Asking any question that you've got is quite definitely the best way of doing things - thanks!
I agree fully about the acronyms rather than spelling the name in full, with the exception that I personally use Qld rather than QLD. If I was down there, I'd probably also use Tas, but all capitals for the others. I don't think there's any hard & fast rules for capitalisation though?
