Welcome to tha gang Errol and Sue, enjoy here and out in the playground.
May I suggest you speak to your vehicle rego authorities in the 'wild west'. That way you will have correct info from the horses mouth, so to speak.
Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Hi Errol and Sue,
I was in a similar situation a few years ago when I had to relicence a 1978 model Millard and was told by Qld Transport that I could replace the compliance plate myself with a Trailer Compliance Plate that could be bought over the counter at any licensing centre. They did emphasise that the information had to match those on the registration papers.
So I got one and engraved the details with a little battery powered engraver that I picked up in a hardware store. Attached it to the van then had the roadworthy done, compliance plate was checked against the old rego papers and there was no questions asked by the examiner. Result = Passed.

Compliance plate is normally in the boot (front or tunnel) or on the A Frame.
Some Boromas had problems with breaking A frames, so I wonder if your van has the original A frame. It may have been replaced and if so the compliance plate might not have been attached to the new A frame.
I believe there is a Boroma Owners Group ( http://www.boroma.net/ )
