Hi Scooterpete!
If you can get down Melbourne/Victoria way, you can get your licence a lot quicker than in the NT. I know because I'm going through the process here at the moment.
You basically get a Learner Permit first (which you can get by doing a day's course with a short test at the end). Then after 3 months on the Learner Permit you can go for your test to get your actual motorbike licence. Once you pass that, you can ride anywhere you like, with certain restrictions on the size of the bike - but you'll be able to ride a 250cc and even bigger at that point. Once you've got your bike licence, that gets added to your car licence, and you can then convert that to an International Drivers Licence that will let you drive a car or bike anywhere in the world!
Hope that helps!
Jeanie
