Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Willouw. It's terrific to have you join us and many thanks for your question.
It's great to see you have already received a helpful reply from @Brad.
Interestingly enough you'll find not all but many of our timber sizes match up with imperial measurements. The lengths of timber available generally fall on foot increments, our framing timber sizes are based off inch measurements and panel products also fall on foot increments. I believe that is due to a legacy issue, the spacing used in creating a stud wall and that it's easy to divide imperial measurements which is useful in construction. I found learning imperial useful in assisting customers in-store. I quite often needed to assist older customers who weren't able to work in metric.
For me, the ideal style for an Adirondack is pictured below. However, I highly suspect my impression of what they should look like is influenced by having to walk past them several times a day in-store for the past decade.
Let me mention a few of our other keen woodworkers @Poppop, @WoodenGregsWood, @woodenwookie,@woodalwaysworks and @r23on who might like to join the conversation.
We can't wait to follow along with your project and we'd encourage you to let us know if you need assistance or would like to share it with the community.
