Changing state.

The fatigued and much-travelled Tasmanian number plate has been handed in to VicRoads together with the required paperwork, certification and payment. The red Ducati now has a shiny new Victorian plate on its rear and a faded plastic rego label holder bolted to the frame. Like many other states, Tasmania abolished rego labels some time ago but they’re still required in Victoria till the end of the year.

In other news of the day, Tess’ boyfriend Dan’s Australian citizenship application has been approved. After submitting paperwork, certification and payment; and completing a half-hour general knowledge test in less than two minutes with a score of 100%, the approval letter arrived today. Dan still has to wear his British plates until a formal ceremony takes place after which he can keep the Brit plates and wear Aussie one’s too. Thankfully we don’t have to stick a label on him each year.
