Hi

If Rickarde (or Richard) Gerard Pluss lived in Australia, the first step should be to search all documents about him in Australia (passenger manifest, naturalisation, marriage and death record or death notice in the newspapers).

If some of this documents mention his place of birth or place of origin, you can search in the churchbooks of this place. Places of origin for Plüss in the Canton Aargau, Switzerland are Vordemwald and Murgenthal. Microfilms of the churchbooks of the Canton Aargau (catholic and evangelic) are held at the State Archives of the Canton Aargau and are not available online.

Vordemwald belonged to the parish of Zofingen.

Have a good read of the familysearch wiki on Switzerland https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Switzerland_Genealogy
Useful guide to the subject and also covers each Canton.
