light eq, no need for change of clothes, all you need is your laptop, and just wander around with an awesome katana, travel around getting food from everywhere, slashing down zombies all the while
I estimate your survival time to be 5 minutes.
Back to the subject at hand it would depend on what sort of zombies we would have to deal with: the shambling type, the fast type that can see or those similar to HOTD.
If I was planning I would be preparing for the worst case scenario.
I reckon during the opening stages of the infection it is better to ride out the first day or two so that you can avoid the inevitable panic that will ensue resulting in clogged up highways and roads.
Weapons you have should already be effective as you should have been training with them in preparation, my choices are since Australia is a hole and guns are hard to get: A crossbow although they are slow they offer a quiet way to dispatch zombies and ammunition can be crafted/improvised, and a baseball bat possibly aluminium to save weight. Possibly acquire a firearm from a dead officer or something along the way unfortunately it'll be touch and go with it so I wouldn't be relying on it as much.
