This is how it goes down in Queensland.
* Get your bike discharged from the port.
- Got the Carnet stamped in Brisbane Centre
- Quaratine inspection on the wharf. They were mostly interested in tent pegs and some
other camping gear. The bike just got a quick look under the front fender.
- Apparantly the bike cant be driven off the port, just pushed and was ok.
* Unfortuanly the customs broker didnt knew too much on the next part, CTP and rego. So I
just drove the bike from Brisbane to GoldCoast were im staying.
* Get yourself CTP insurance at eg RACQ, 80AUD / year
* Drive over to Queensland transport and bring
- yur bike
- carnet
- your countries registration papers
- pasport
- drivers license
- CTP insurance
* Apply for 'Oversears Vehicle Permit'
- They will quickly inspect the bike for correctness of numbers (frame, rego etc) that you
have provided. Funnily enough they did not do a roadworthy check. Brake light, Horn,
blinkers, etc were NOT checked...
- They will print you a overseas vehicle permit (CTP attached) that you need to keep with
you all the time. This permit was provided at NO cost.
Thats It. There is a lady at queensland transport Upton Rd - Bundle that has dealt with this stuff before. Apparantly there are some desert racers coming over to train for the dakar..
