Hey mate I’m obviously extremely late replying to you now but I’ve just stumbled upon the same hurdle as you with my uk tanks over here in aus. Would you mind sharing some info on how you went about getting them tested please? ive 2 new and in used faber tanks that are now effectively $1000 worth of scrap that I’ll be lucky to get $50 for. thank you for your time.

Hi All, Me and the Mrs are shipping over a 20ft container containing all our belongings. Can we include our sheep skin rug and Kangaroo skin throw? Also we have an old oak table that means a lot to us that has bark attached to the edges. If we bring this is there a chance it can be destroyed or can we just pay for treatment? If there's any chance customs will destroy it I'd leave it with family in the UK. Thanks all.

Hi Ozmaniac, Thank you for your reply but looking at the first link in you post brings up a new question straight away. Please have a look at the statement below and the part that I have underlined. If you’re a permanent Australian resident, or hold a permanent visa under the Commonwealth Migration Act 1958, and you intend to stay in NSW, you are not considered to be a visitor. As such, you are allowed to drive in NSW on a current overseas licence for a maximum of three months. After that, you will need to apply for a NSW licence to continue driving or riding. The only reason we are going to be in NSW Is that is the only place in OZ where there is a quarentine station for animals. We intend on leaving the state as soon as we collect our dogs and have bought a vehicle. Thanks again.

Hi all I'm looking for a bit of advice, Google is full of contradictions and I'm struggling to find answers. First let me explain our situation. Me, my wife and our two dogs are emigrating to Australia in Sept 2015 and are looking to buy a 4x4 and Caravan in Sydney (where the dogs will be quarentined). We will then travel all around Australia starting with the East coast for 4 months before finally settling in WA. We both hold a full UK driving license and will both have permenent independent residency visas in place prior to our arrival. We also will not have a residential address in Australia until we settle in WA. My questions are, 1: As we are traveling around prior to settling down does the 3 month time limit to exchange our UK driving licenses for Australian ones still apply? We will not have an address for at least 4 moths after arrival but we will still be residents. 2: Can we even buy a Car and Caravan without an address or Australian driving license between us? 3: If we can buy a Car and Caravan in Sydney is it easy to re register in when we finally settle in WA? Thank you for your advice in advance, Carl
