Thanks @Paul_Sengupta and @skydriller, of course, I will do my research. I'm painfully aware of the state Australia is in lately, given the amount of hoops my Australian partner had to jump through to get back to her own country recently and a not insignificant amount for myself to visit, I wouldn't be surprised if aviation is bogged down by similar levels of beaurocracy.
This does indeed confuse me, is it just because it gets a bit harder to actually tally the UK hours up? I suppose I can appreciate that, the difference between just taking the total vs having to do a diff between different logged hours in different states. Still, seems a bit silly.
I'm not too fussed about logging the hours anyway if I do end up flying while there, I doubt I'd do more than one or two if at all and I'm doing it all for the experience with no urgent need to build up "logged" hours. So if I do end up in doubt about the value of logging I'll probably just skip it. Writing it up in the logbook without jotting down the times seems like a good compromise.
