Hah! Got it!
Original Question:
>Is the Carnet sufficient?
>Can it REALLY be just that easy?
The short-n-sweet answer is: Yes! It REALLY is just that easy!.
I got this response from the South Australia DPTI:Vehicle Standards folks:
Quote
In respect to travelling in South Australia with a right hand side sidecar the
following is advised.
A vehicle registered in SA is not currently allowed to have a sidecar on the right
hand side, but as you are travelling on overseas registration and a Carnet de
Passage there would be no restriction on you in South Australia.
Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let me know.

My original question to him was:
Sirs,
I'm currently in the process of planning an Australian Motorcycle trip - planned for
2017 or 2017 - that right now - spans the months of August through October.
I'll be traveling on a motorcycle equipped with a sidecar on the right (throttle) side.
My questions are:
1. Are there any restrictions on operating a a motorcycle equipped with a sidecar on
the right (throttle) side for the three months planned?
2. If there are restriction(s), can I apply for a waiver of them?
Please note that I will be traveling with a Carnet de Passage, and will NOT be
leaving the vehicle behind when I depart Australia.
