Hi, being from Canada and planning shortly to visit your great country, I need some advice, specifically about registering vehicle and van. We plan to land in Sydney, as it's the cheapest place to get to from Canada, followed by a couple of days in a vehicle rental while we get time-adjusted, and look for our own vehicle. After purchasing a vehicle, we'll get some camping gear (tent, etc.) and travel to Tasmania for a couple of weeks. Following that we plan to get a caravan for our extended stay. Our plan is to travel all over Australia for several months. So:
1. Can I register a vehicle in NSW when I don't have any permanent Australian address? (I do know some people in NSW, and could "borrow" their address if necessary I guess).
2. Can I purchase and register a van in Victoria (for example) and pull it with a vehicle registered in NSW?
3. I notice on used vehicle and caravan ads that some are registered for longer periods of time than others. Is there any advantage to purchasing a vehicle/van with longer registration? What about one on which the registration has expired?
The process seems different than what I am used to in Canada so thanks for any and all advice.
