Well done on the licence, but isnt the QLD licence cheap and nasty! (For non qld people, its a laminated bit of card with your piccy stuck on it).
Sounds quite posh when compared to my scrappy bit of folded pink paper

Ta for that

You can drive on your UK licence for 3 months only
Take the theory test only and get you Aus licence although this will only last for upto 5 years (depending on what you pay) we were informed today that you do not have to retake the theory test when you update your licence.

Still hanging on to my UK (pre photo card) licence, although its now more cellotape than licence. Still, its handy for getting into the club up the road as the UK is definitely more than 15 km away!

Talking of which, my sons were just here from the UK, and had to produce ID in the local pub. The manager refused to accept their UK photo licences as valid ID because, and I quote "you can download them off the net".

Yes, the licence is laminated, (looks more like a video or gym membership card), but was just nice not to have to post everything off to Swansea, and actually walk out the building with the plastic card safely stashed in my wallet.
