Your profile says you are 21. If you are renting a vehicle, most agency's require you to be a minimum of 25, or you pay a very hefty extra cost for insurance.

Hey, when will you be in Australia and how long for... What plans have you in mind...??

Dodger, thanks. But i have a couple of friends over at Sydney, and i'll probably be able to borrow their personal vehicles

Tinkerbell, i will be there from 06nov onwards till some when end Nov. hadnt really decided on a return date (: you?

You don't need to worry at all. It's quite safe! And as you don't even have to rent a car , there wont be any issues. Have a good trip
