In Victoria you get the red P-plates for 3 years, no speed restrictions (that I know of... I should probably check) a blood alcohol of zero and 5 points to your licence.

I didnt have to do a log book as a learner, they only just introduced that as I passed my P's. Yay.

I rear ended someone's falcon 10 days after getting my licence in my mum's car.
$50 damage to his...... $1200 my end. Ouch.

Good luck buddy! Happy driving *broom broom*

Edit: To pass your licence you have to do a computer test as well as a driving test. And the driving test was stupid, it doesnt actually test anything... hence so many useless P-platers like me!
