I had my norwegian plated bike in Australia for almost 10 months and rode 30 k kms on it - and I was never stopped.
Anyhow - I got third party insurance by having it checked for roadworthiness (at The Road Department - or whatever it is called) when I arrived in Darwin. Problem was that it was only valid i NT and not in the other states. So I repeated the procedure in WA and they gave me 6 months validity - if it was valid in other states than WA Im not sure. After that I didnt bother doing this anymore.
I do find it a bit strange that Oz authorities would tell you that third party insurance isnt mandatory - even for temporary imported bikes....
But luckily I was never in a position I needed to find this out.
