Do you need a liscence to race in Australia?

I can do about 35km/h on a flat. And 21 yo. What sort of races should I enter? Anyone can provide a link? Are there weekly or monthly races in Melbourne?

Yes you do need a licence - cost $100 insurance plus club fee. Given halfway through year be about $125-$135 depending on club.

You should join a club near your home - generally because the courses will be closer.
