Good to see more Aussies around these parts! Need more of us to take it up to those alien fast Europeans and Americans. 
You will pretty much always run a high ping here as most races are hosted in Europe, but as long as you're safe and account for the ping in close battles, you'll be fine.
A few races also get hosted in the US which generally cuts a good 100-150ms of ping, but they're currently confined to late morning/early afternoon and at midnight for the eastern states for the Asia enduro series, so for most of us they're a bit out of reach during the weekdays.
I kind of hope one day they push that Asian series forward a few hours to allow for more of us to give it a go, or they re-introduce the Oceanic series which was initially canned about a year ago due to low numbers. Maybe giving it another go now with a bigger community could make them work? I've always kinda liked the idea of a 1 hour race at around 9-10pm in the eastern states.
