so fast moomba!!

yahoo fireworks!

Awww....

Hey all.

I'd like to ask what do I need in order to drive legally in Australia?
I've read on some Australia website that my Driving License has to be in English, or is holding an International Driving License, in order to drive for a limit of 12 months.

Unfortunately, Malaysia Driving License is in Malay, and I have not got my International Driving License while I was in M'sia.

By the way, my sister has been here for over 5 years, and she had to take up the driving tests all over again when she first got here, she was already holding M'sia Driving License before that.

Do I need to take up the tests all over again? Or do I just apply for their permit?
Anyone have more informations about this? Like the correct website to go to.

I've been driving for 4 years in M'sia anyway.
21 years old.

Not sure about other states, but you are entitled to drive with a Malaysian license as long as you have the translated version with you just in case something pops up. PRs on the other hand require a legal VicRoads license.

I'm currently studying in Perth.
So I can actually drive legally here with my M'sia License?
But how am I going to translate it? O.o
By myself?

seriously? is it only for tutors? unsw right..

denzy : refer to the previous few pages, there's a wealth of information. i used to drive in perth, didn't really care about translating. drove a whole year with just a normal cdl (had cdl since 04). got pulled over twice. once i just showed the cdl. the other i showed my international license (120rm for 1yr). no biggie, won't get caught. but at the very end i just converted my license, walked in for theory test, and took the practical the very next day. cost a total of er, 250-300aud thereabouts. anyway, just get it converted if you want to, might prove useful to u if u club/pub often, or the casino, since a WA license also acts as a proof of age so u dont have to carry around your passport.

Hey,

I would like to know is there anyone here from Brisbane?
I might going there soon.

Thanks.

hey kawaiii kanabe, refer to first page- lyn member in australia, most update carry from verison 1

its anyone in queensland? me and my friends are going to gold coast during the sem break. i need some guides where to go and the transportation things like tat...can anyone help me? thx

Was planning the same thing too lol.

But my plan is to rent a 4x4 and go around the out back with me and 3 others and stuff everything we need in the trunk.

kawaiikawabe, yeah, im from brisbane......which uni are u gonna to studying??

hmm..not too sure whether or not the translink site also includes the GC region, but here it is. http://translink.com.au

If you want to go around the Gold Coast, I'd strongly recommend renting a car. Getting around with public transport alone to the attractions along the GC is a nightmare.

Seconded that.It's hard to travel with public transport since the distance is far.

Thanks for your info.

Hey kenny,
I'm applying for UQ. Are you from the same uni??

Anyone here from Curtin International College?
I've been trying to get into our portal at www.cic.wa.edu.au, but won't allow me to get in. =/
I need to print out the lecture notes for tomorrow, I am so dead.

I'm. Can't get into the website too.

Ah, damn. =(
