Well it actually has to do with the middleages. Back then when knights would ride on horse back in England there was a law that you had to ride your horse on the left side of the road so that any Knight or royal could see if you had a sword in your hand and to make sure you werent armed. Well that carried over to British territories such as Aus. When American revolted they didnt want anything to resemble the British Empire so they decided to have the ride on the right side of the road. Aus still had close and good relantions with the British when it broke away. And to the other who said we are the odd one out actually most of the world drives on the right side, Japan, France, most of Europe. Russia, India, China, all drive on the right side of the road. This was a British tradition.

Yes. I'd seen cars on the roads in Sydney with the sign in bold RED - Left Hand Drive. You'd still have to abide the Aussie driving rules...
