Driving licence
I only have a car licence here in UK. Will that be enough to drive in NSW, or will we need to take a test?
Also, will I need to take a test in Oz to be able to ride a motor bike? I dont have a bike licence, but someone told me a car licence was enough.

I started a thread about our experience of going about getting a NSW driving licence, which also contains links to some sites you might find useful. It can be found at:

Before obtaining a motorcycle rider’s licence, you must successfully complete the Motorcycle Rider Training Scheme. This scheme is designed to help people gain basic riding skills before riding on the road.

In order to drive in Australia, all you need is a car, preferably without a roadworthy, drive in the outside or centre lanes all the time, cut people up at every opportunity and ignore red lights...easy. Who needs a test?
