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?

Until fairly recently it was pretty simple (see e.g.
http://www.alameda-aero.com/articles/downunder.cfm for a rather old
article of mine on what happened when I did that a bunch of years ago).

Unfortunately the new ASIC "security" system has made it all but
impossible, so my guess is you'll be unable to rent or fly without a
great deal of work....
