I'm toying with the idea of a trip to Australia for a few weeks. What's
involved in renting a plane there with a US pilot's license? Is it
possible?

I applied in advance last year and got a letter of authorization to fly
around the outback. I had to do essentially a BFR when I got there.

However, it's impossible now I hear. To go into any field that has
any sort of scheduled service (even once a week commuter service), you
need a security card which is impossible to practically obtain.
