Driving licence query
Does anyone know how long it takes to get an Aussie driving licence and what Docs u need to get one (without stating the obvious...UK licence and passport!). We are thinking about hiring a camper for a road trip, but need an Aussie licence to get a cheaper deal.....any help would be appreciated
