I think if you can afford it you will be better off buying an EScos in Australia. The ones that are for sale there will have to be fully road legal already, but of course how you buy it will have to be how it stays! Now you have told us you are going to Queensland I can say for sure air-con is a must unless you want to sweat your balls off! Queensland is a lot more humid than other States, raining at 30 degrees etc.
