There is a lot of wrong information around on this because up until last year you could get an easier & cheaper temporary import permit to get a vehicle into Oz. They then changed the rules & do not issue these any more. A carnet is the only way.
Good luck, sorry I can't be more help. You could just come to New Zealand instead,  we do have a temporary import permit system so you don't need a carnet

hi clint, that is really headache! what about the air ticket? we bought the ticket during feb this year and it cost us US$1300 for the 2 of us to fly to sydney from LA. then just last week, we went to the airport and changed the flight date to late november. hell mann, it cost us another US$800 just for the admin fee. hmm, kind of my own problem reading too much automobile website and adventure moto book. blame it on myself on all these unlucky things happening these few months.
what about getting another type of visa (maybe working visa?) to import the bike?
Hi Grant, i will click on the link and see, hopefully it is not out-dated.
by the way, the just replied:
Hi Goh,
As i stated before the only way to import the vehicle is via a Carnet unless the vehicle was manufactured before 1989 or has an Australian Compliance Plate fitted.
Regards,
