of those that are advising that you get your license in Bali. If you have an accident and do not have an International license a lot of insurance companies will NOT cover you.
There is no problem driving in Bali with Inter license, it is legal, the Police will NOT hassle you any more than they would with local one.
We have done this for years. Why make a headache for yourself when it can be done in 5 mins in Aus for only about $20 for a year, and you are covered. DO NOT TAKE THE RISK. You have your bike license here you will be OK. It could cost you $10,000's if you have an accident (and a lot of people do!!)
If you really want to get it in Bali (although I would rather spend my time enjoying my holiday than getting a license) check with your travel insurance that you will be covered.
