Have you looked into the why's and wherefore's of bringing a vehicle to Oz...? There's plenty of pitfall's... have a search on the forum...

Here's the link to Aussie Customs Vehicle Imports... They would give you the definitive about everything...

Not quite right, please see http://www.australiatrade.com.au/Shi...es/Customs.htm, you are still liable for duties, plus vehicle registration and complaince conversion costs, and the vehicle would have to be cleaned to AQIS standard.

Bring it then. The Navara is popular here, I have one too. You will have no problems getting it serviced or getting spares. The UK Navara has a higher spec. than the Aussie model as well.
