I repeat: there is no such thing as an 'International Drivers Licence'
The link davita posted above (comment #10) explains the purpose and origin of the International Drivers Permit in clear detail.
You can apply for one on-line from Australian motoring clubs, even if you're overseas, and it will be sent overseas.
The AAA link reckons the cost is AUD 39 (excluding postage), but in my experience, state/territory clubs charge different prices.
And Mark: I've never heard of that 'requirement' in Indonesia. Then again, in the 21+ years I've lived in Bali, I've never had to sit the multiple-choice computer 'driving rules test', nor a practical driving test, nor the so-called 'medical assessment. I can't think of one Balinese friend who has or any of my expat friends. No wonder 50% (generous) of Balinese road users are so nuts behind the wheel or on their bikes.
