Agreed with the above three. Now, I'll say that my friend mattrah got away with not registering his car for three years when he was living in California after moving to Maryland. I think the cops there weren't as conscientious as the ones in Australia. Knock on wood, it's how I'm managing to squeak by still with my California plates because I don't have time to go to the DMV. So my guess is that he was hoping the cops wouldn't notice.
In California, the sticker's on the plate, and you need to carry a copy of it in your glove compartment (or glove box? what's the Aus term?) at all times. They send you reminder notices, too, so you can pay to have it reregistered and in California, you need to have a smog check, too.
