From the "Things you don't see every day in Perth" file..

Today we were driving behind a Left-Hand-Drive Ford F150.

With Washington State licence plates, and a big American flag sticker.

As far as I'm aware, Australia will indeed let you temporarily import non-ADR complaint vehicles for use on our roads. It's just that, y'know, no land border means people tend not to take us up on the offer. Except this guy, who seems to have really made an effort.

Google Maps suggests Seattle to Perth would take 54 days, including the Kayak journey across the Pacific ocean. Heck, even the Great-Circle route is 16000 kms.

I saw a lot of left-hand drive cars whilst living in Alice Springs in the late 80s. Even rode in a few! Was way weird though and NOT an experience I care to repeat in this country any time soon.
