The Garuda site states bags should not exceed length 50cm, height 36cm, width 15cm and weight 7kgs. You may get away with different size and weight, but also you may be challenged, especially at Tullamarine. You used to be able to carry a handbag or small camera bag, but some picky officials say one piece of carry-on luggage and even the web site says they prefer on piece. I have travelled many times and always carry a substantial camera bag. Coming back you can get away with almost anything as long as your stowed cases are not too outrageously over the 20kgs each. Note that the trolley type carry-on cases usually weigh 2-3 kgs before filling, so if you want to carry the whole 7 kgs, a canvas or light cotton bag is the best.
Have a good trip,
