I was in Vic (Venus Bay) for the weekend for a Surf life Saving function & one of the young life savers had just been booked for No trailer rego. apparently in Victoria if your box trailer is a 6 x 4 or smaller it has no rego (just show the car towing its rego) but as he had a Boat on it (a surf rescue duck) it becomes a boat trailer that must be registered. Tough call for a young guy doing the community a service at he's own cost.

I was going to lend him my NSW trailer trade plate & was told that it was Not ok because the tow car had Vic rego & would be illegal

A bit concerning considering, as this trade plate has been on many trailers towed by hire cars & 4wds in every state in Aust (I,m still waiting on a answer from NSW RTA)
However Vic roads believe that it would be illegal due to liability insurance, & that most cars towing a registered trailer from a different state, maybe not be illegal but could find that there is NO liability insurance due to the different states regs with trailers

makes you wonder
