Hi,
You should be fine. They are hardy and adaptable. Grow them like any other citrus. Use a fertiliser high in phosphorous to help prevent rot in the humid/wet conditions. They do well in pots but don't over water and if the pots get too hot move them into partial shade. You should have fruit soon.

The Finger Limes naturally grow from the coast and up into the mountains, from south of Brisbane into the north of NSW (subtropical to cool mountain subtropical)
similar to 30-38' but cooler in winter.
They can also be grown in the hotter 40 degree, inland areas of Australia, with irrigation and shelter.
I think your climate will be ok,
Fingerlimes are very similar to other Citrus, but if they dry out they will drop leaves more than Citrus.
Still please dont overwater them.
Also they cant take as strong fertilizer
as Citrus. Better to fertilize less, but more often.
Good Luck and let us know how you go.
