Default QLD to NSW P plates

I'm going to be driving across the boarder to byron bay and the likes in a month or two and I'd just like to triple check a few things.

I'm on my P plates, so I will drive according to my licence, and do the full 110km/h on the highways, if they are of that speed limit, right?

Has anyone copped any attention or been pulled over for this kind of thing? I'd rather keep a low profile.

Also, what are the fines and laws in regards to P plate speeding?

In NSW aren't the laws in regards to P plate speeding extremely harsh? would I lose my licence according to NSW laws, or just get a fine and QLD would determine the demerit points on my licence?

I'm a little bit paranoid at the moment as it seems like it's very harsh over the boarder.

Anyway, I do not regularly speed, but the 4km/h thing has me a bit worried. :-)

I'm on my P2 licence in QLD.

I've just looked and it says 4 points for a NSW p1 or p2 driver, which would mean loss of licence? I think QLD P plates only have 4 points.

If I got caught doing 104km/h in a 100km zone while changing lanes or going down a slight gradient or something I would probably have a psychotic episode.

But yeah, if it is a 4 point penalty (so loss of licence with a 4km/h tolerance) I am almost tempted to take the bus over the boarder.
