How do I drive in Australia?

Driving Licences

Driving Licences
A bona-fide tourist may drive in Australia on a valid overseas drivers licence for the same class of vehicle. Licences must be carried when driving. If the drivers licence is not in the English language, the visitor must carry a translation with the permit. An International Drivers Permit is not sufficient by itself and must be accompanied by a valid drivers permit. For further information contact the relevant state Road Transport Authority on arrival.
