If I do the test and fail it my son would get some mileage out of it...also, its probably going to take to long, so I don't think I'll be able to hire a car while I'm here. 

Yes you wont be hiring a car without a license.

So if there are any other expats reading this, I hope they can benefit from the info, them's the rules for WA. 

My issue is next renew I have to have a new picture taken as they will only allow 10 years online so means I have to do so in person. Last time I did it while living here online I changed my address to a friends place s he could post the license to me but he said my new one never arrived so I just did nothing. I can't remember how many years I chose at the time either.

QLD have the same 5 year rule

If your licence expired 5 or more years ago, you cannot  renew your licence. You will need to apply for a learner licence. However, you are able  to apply for a class of licence you previously held as a returning  driver.
