After a couple of years or so looking over the fence I have became a member. Before I get to old for it I intend spending the winter months travelling the inland areas of your great country,see
places and sights I have read about. In the past we have hired rentals but restrictions and red tape prevent going far from the black stuff. The intentions are to buy a Landcruiser & slide on. Following this and other forums there appears to be quite a variation in taxes fees etc. in different states,which state Vic,NSW.QLD would you pay the least tax etc on a new vehicle?
Any help and constructive suggestions would be appreciated.After a lifetime driving 4x4s I would like to spend some time doing the same just for fun, and when the temperature starts to climb be able to pop back over the ditch for the summer. The best of both worlds??

Wecome aboard Russnic,
Sorry I can't tell you anything about the taxes, it's like being a goldfish in a bowl, you can't tell the water has pees in it unless you are looking in from the outside.
You will find a great troup of interested travllers on the EO site. If someone can't let you know the answers to your questions they will certainly help trying.
I have a TLC with canopy that you may be interested to have a look at. All the best for your travels over here.
Chris

Russnic [NZ] welcome aboard
is that you pronunciation of "Rossneck"????
Sorry sport, just my idea of humour, sad really ain't it.
As for the tax thing I am not sure about, BUT if I made a comment, THEN and only then, would someone know far more than me about it.
So lets try eh!!!!. IMHO, NT is the best place to buy your car, more competition for sales of new 4by's and lower road taxes.
Now lets see what happens mate.
Welcome to OE, Colin.
