192.168.1.1 is the virtual IP address. Typically, when configuring load balancing you have one new IP address configured on the external VLAN. Clients make requests to this IP address. www.abcd.com.au would need to resolve in DNS to this external IP address (or perhaps to a firewall address which is NAT'd to this virtual IP address on the BIG-IP). The BIG-IP answers the client request and load balance it to one of the pool members.
Devcentral wasn't really designed to provide this level of instruction though. The LTM configuration guide describes basic load balancing configurations. If you get stuck with that, you could contact F5 and ask them to send you an engineer to go through the basic configuration of the unit. They'd charge you for this, but it would be a good learning opportunity for you. They also offer basic and advanced training courses.
