Driving in Oz

Hi,

Im flying to Brisbane on the 19th on a working holiday, going for around a year hopefully more! I have a full Uk license and im unsure whether i will need to get an IDP or not as i will be there over 6 months ? Or should i apply for an australian license ?

As you are a temporary visitor you don't need to change your licence.

Have fun x :thumbup:

watch out for the early morning breathalizers!! many people i know have been caught out "the day after the night before".. especially when you drive through the hunter (newcastle)..

Il have a read up on them on the internet, although they always tell you the speed in Kilometers now instead of miles its a pain in the arse !
