Hello,

today I'm now REALLY Queensland resident! why ? because i changed my car plates...and that wasn't so easy. Actually in Australia, each state has his own rules, thus what is right in a state can be wrong in another. So we had to do all the registering administrative process : car inspection, drive license.
Our car is an LPG, so we had to do both inspection for petrol and gas.
This is a government business, because our car is a used car wich was registered in Victoria State until June 2008. So i 've paid twice! wasting our time and money!!!
I now have a brand new plate on our car with the sunshine state written + i have a Queensland drive license, so i feel like I'm a young new driver...funny after 15 years driving!

Info for overseas readers...
compare to France, here in the Queensland state, the drive license has an expire date, then every time you have to renew it you have to pay. You can also have a customized plate on your car with your name or whatever you want. This kind of "funky" stuff could never happen in most of European country...it's a serious affair sir !
But i like it, it 's funny when you're in the traffic jam and just see that the car in front of you has a stupid message on is back, or his nick name...cool!



Next week i will tell you more about my business...i think i have my first customer...exciting!
Can't tell you more before it's sure!
