I called Australia Customs yesterday.
They said yes, you can fly out for a couple of months, but you have to e-mail the office at the port you entered with carnet #, expiry date, when you are leaving and returning, particulars of where the vehicle is stored and security arrangements, etc.
The man said "we have relaxed the requirements recently".
Good news for me, I have a highly paid job and don't wish to to be away from it for more than 2-3 mos at a time.
Though I will have to for the SE Asia-Europe leg of my trip.
