Tabua Tuinakauvadra earned player of the match after scoring two tries in the second half, and Ash Marsters also delivering off the back of a strong Wallaroos maul.
However, the most impressive element was the Australian defence, with the hosts only conceding one try despite Wales holding most of the possession and territory.
The Welsh lost their co-captain Alex Callender early due to injury - but Jasmine Joyce crossed for the visitors only try of the match.
