As far as I know, anyone can import a bike if they have a carnet. Subject to the usual inspections of course. Maximum time on foreign plates is 12 months.

I'd double check with Customs as a Carnet is only available to "visitors" to Australia. I think you need to ensure that the Act or Regulations don't define visitors somewhere as being non citizens/non permanent residents of Australia.
The time limit is 12 months or whenever the carnet holder leaves the country. I'm pretty sure that the carnet can be extended though, there's something about the appropriate visa being valid???

Hi Roger, I am glad you chimed in
.., that is some interesting and valuable 'food for thought' there.
I will certainly be looking into that. Thx

Simple answer is yes... as long as you are a Resident (and can prove it) of an other country...

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
