Yes, you’re right, the 72 hour visa free transit covers you.
You don’t need to contact the China Consulate in Australia prior to yout traveling.

Just put forward your request for transit to your airline in advance, so that the airline can declare this to the Immigration Inspection prior to your visit. You will be granted a transit permit at the airport if you meet all requirements.
