Again, thanks for all your replies. In the meantime i received the following mail from VicRoads (because my bike will land in Melbourne / Victoria)

"Good Afternoon Gerd,
Thank you for your email.
In reference to your enquiry, a motor vehicle visiting from overseas may be driven in Australia on a carnet du passage if it meets all of the following conditions:
· it is registered in its home country, and its registration must remain current while the vehicle is driven in Australia; and
· it is visiting on a temporary basis.
To be driven in Australia, the motor vehicle must have appropriate transport accident cover. I have included a link to the VicRoads website for further information regarding the transport accident commission (TAC) and how this can be obtained.
About the TAC premium : VicRoads
The maximum allowable period overseas vehicles can be used in Australia on a carnet du passage is normally 12 months, at which time the vehicle must leave Australia.
If these vehicles are used in left hand drive configuration it is advisable to display a left hand drive sign. The words "Left hand Drive" in lettering 75mm high and of proportionate width must be clearly and legibly displayed on the rear of the vehicle."

This information was send out to me on June 17, 2010. Of course i will have a carnet. So hopefully everybody down under will be happy. Next weekend i will check the rack which will be the base of my crate. And on July 10 the motorbike will be put into the crate - the 'adventure' starts....
