Ive had my british drivers license for 5 years and really want to get my motorbike license so I can (hopefully) get a bike and travel a bit of oz on it. But I cant seem to find any info on the laws relating to bikes ie, what sort of license do I need to have, will I have to get an ozzie drivers license first, and if I can get a sort of crash course tutorial like you can in the UK.

plans at the moment will be to settle around the melbourne area so if anyones done what I want to do and has any advice Id be really grateful.

Thanks!!
Hello , it would appear you would have been better off to have aquired an international licence before going to OZ , however , most states will acept your British licence for between 3 and 12 months . To obtain a full OZ licence , some states only require a written test on road rules etc . I suggest you log onto ""australian driving licence'' which has ALL the information you may require for different states . Colin
