Driving in OZ - Galaxy01 - 27-01-2023
Do we need to get an International Driver License or our NZ License will be OK?
Planning a trip to Sydney in Mar.

Years ago a NZ was fine.
Word of warning, don't let the other half read maps -- miss the turnoff and you may have to go for miles to get back to where you wanted to be.

Navigation wise take your car GPS with you with a set of AU maps loaded. Just adhere to road rules including speed as the cops don't muck around and possibly as a result the standard of driver discipline is way higher than in NZ. Speed limits seem to change every 2 minutes, especially in urban areas, so be on your guard over this.
