Australia is one of the most popular destinations in the world with hundreds of thousands of people each year choosing Australia as their new home or working vacation destination. The climate is wonderful, people are friendly, and employment opportunities are very good! http://www.australianvisasnow.com/quick-facts-about-australia/
Many American Citizens, Green Card Holders, and H1B Temporary Residents are moving to Australia each year. Unless you have some sort of collector or classic car, it is just not feasible to import a car. They drive on the other side of the road, like all English Commonwealth countries. Well, you could take your car but then you have to get it converted to right-hand drive, unless it is something like a classic like a 1962 Mustang. This is very expensive. There are also import duties, road worthy and safety tests, and the usual licensing, registration, and insurance costs.
When you do arrive in Australia, do be careful about looking the right way when crossing the road, either in a car or on foot. Every year a few “newbies” get killed or seriously injured because they step off the curb or drive through an intersection while looking the wrong way. It is such a problem that around the city streets of Sydney they’ve painted Look Right on the sidewalks. Follow this rule and you’ll be OK: look three times. Look this way, look that way and look this way again. So if you happen to look the wrong in the first instance this 3-time rule will prevent you from making a mistake.
