Question

Thanks Bantam. I had been thinking along those lines, I was just curious as to how people were getting around the problem
Cheers

It may be worthwhile investigating each states registration rules first. All states have different requirements in regard to roadworthy certificates and the likes. Pick the easiest.

I like the way you think Tony. Thanks for your input

I don't know the detail now, but in the past there was a very good reason why a lot of interstate heavy vehicles where registered in South Australia.

NSW you have to "go over the pits" every year.....that produces some interesting complications.

if you have a boat...its no good " living" in the Nortern Teritory...because they don't have recreational boat registration...thats a problem...because you cant register your tinny in QLD ( or any other state) unless you are a resident.....so cant register in NT because it doesn't exist...but need regestration in other states nut cant because you don't live there.


Certainly worth investigating before you decide where you are going to "live"

We have three 'addresses' One WA, friends who own a cattle property and ditto in Queensland. Also the organisation that forwards our mail which is based in Victoria allows us to use their home address as required.

We have a vehicle registered in WA, a van registered in Queensland and we live on the road - wherever....... for the last nine years.

Sure beats paying council rates and taxes and power bills etc whilst being stuck in one place. Just follow the sun.

SA require a roadworthy on the first year of registration in the state, after that a roadworthy is not required. However, for insurance purposes
I believe the car should be registered in the same state that your drivers licence was issued in and you also have to have a garaging address in the same state.
If you take up an address in any state, you are required to change your drivers licence and car registration over within three months.
This of course is all to make life easy for you.

Of Course Tony. That goes without saying mate
