    Just do a course with a RTO. There will be one in Hervey bay for sure. If not there is one in Bundy.

    Since there is a practical component you cannot complete the course on-line

    you get your licence for life here in qld, a mate told me a while ago in nsw he had to renew it each year, if things aint changed since then, but yeah a easy practical course then go pay for it at transport and your on your way mate..

    Spend 6 hours at a course, with maybe 30 mins in an actual boat. (figure of eight, docking, Mob ) Pay the course fee, pay the fee to get it added to your driving license ( 106 ). Learn the particular qld rules for when the water police pull you over.

    My kids got their boat and jetski licenses after watching a 15 minute you-tube and then rocking up.

    & consider getting jetski license at same time, extra cost to do test & extra 15min practical, but once you have it (in Qld, like boat license) you have it for life for free.

    Re: boat license

    had a look the other day, about $171.00 for practical test with various companies who do the test, most are close or around that price, then i think it was about $106.65, for licence fee as said once test is complete and im sure there are plenty of companies who do it at harvey bay, simply take your certificate to any qld transport office pay your $106 and they issue your licence. as tj says its for life so nearly as good as nt with no licence, you only pay once..

    N.T has Australia's biggest population of people in there 20's or 30's i heard i can imagine it might get quiet hectic up there with no licenses to drive boats? that's crazy
