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).

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.

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".
