Can anyone tell me what year the various Australian states done away with front numberplates? Was it a national approach or did the various states do away with them at different times.
My recollection for NSW was mid 70's.

Thanks for the replies.
I have a 12/78 SSD that one could assume would have been sold as a 1979 model, it has numberplate bracket holes and was trying to determine if the guard was correct for that year. I bought the bike from a guy that had purchased it from Eurobrit in Victoria. If Victoria changed in 1981 then I guess that would explain that if the bike was originally registered there.
Dales comment is interesting about NSW being after 1978 as a friend of mine bought a new 750SS in 1978 without front numberplate.
I guess if you don't know the history of the bike it could have come from anywhere.
