Hey,

I'm currently living in the Netherlands, but will go to Australia soon on a working holiday visa (sc 417). The problem is that I do not have enough time to get my driving license.
Is this going to be a problem, like, is it necessary to have one? Or is public transport wide enough to get around with?

Australia is not known for it's first class public transport.

It is usable in some cities and nonexistent in some towns.

Which part of australia you be coming to first ? i can only share my experience in WA. I think you can get a WA drivers license but provided you have to go through the process of getting one. Read these links

Depends where you will live really. A friend of mine does not drive and she has no issues getting around at all - she lives in Brisbane about 15 minutes from the city.
