I think there's a OZ forum somewhere here now. Might be an idea to get this thread moved for some better info.

once you get your L plates (1 full day training + theory test) you can ride anything up to a 660cc as long as you are below a certain power to weight ratio.
There's a list of bikes (LAMs) that you can check which are allowed on your Ls

I reckon your better off geting your full license here as i have heard from other bikers that the Oz test is a lot harder and takes longer to complete than here.
