Answer
You will not be allowed to work on your Travel visa unless you have the specific long term travel visa.

Driving in Australia on your visa is limited to Student visas and some travel visas.

I highly advise you to visit http://www.immi.gov.au/ and contact a migration agent to better advise you.
