Default Walkie Talkies in Australia?

Is there an Australian equivalent of U.S. Family Radio Servis radios in
Australia? In the U.S. these radio's do not require any license. Could U.S.
FRS radios be used in Australia?

Radio spectrum allocation in Australia is similar but different to the USA.
You would need to check with the Department of Communications; spectrum
allocation and restrictions would almost certainly be listed on their web
site. There is a significant safety issue here; if your walkie talkie use
frequencies allocated to emergency services, air traffic control etc you may
get into a lot of trouble. Strongly recomnmend you do not use your equipment
here without making absolutely sure it is legal.
