I am in Australia too and have worked on tassie oak and knpw the end grain is challenging as it splinters easily but a sharp plane with a nice closed mouth does still do a good job so my suggestions would be.
If you dont currently strop after sharpening consider doing that
Move ypur frog further forward on your plan to close the mouth more
skew your plan slightly
plane as shallowly as you can.
Let me know if it helps
Best regards
Phil
