Hi George,
I took my 4x4 truck out of OZ in 2006, and it’s still outside of the country. Every year I go online and pay the rego, no prob.
The rego sticker is being mailed to a friend of mine, and she’s then forwarding it to me. I even have a Carnet for it now, as it’s in Africa.
If you want to keep it legal and be able to take out insurance, then you will have to pay in OZ.
Also, if you will need a Carnet from OZ, then they will ask for the rego.
In all the time since 2006, travelling as far as Mongolia, nobody has ever asked me for the rego!
Beauty is that if you pay you are legal……but you’ll never see the speeding/parking or whatever fines….
The trucks rego is from QLD, which is great as you don’t have to get it inspected, ever.
Not all the states in OZ are like that.
I did a 3 year RTW trip in the early 90 ties on a Honda Dominator. South America is excellent, you’ll have a lot of fun.
Beware that the southern part gets really cold, timing is everything!
Cheers, Ib.
