Australian Drivers License in the UK

[Sal]

I am an australian and have been living in the UK for over 12 months. I have been told that my aussie drivers license is no longer vaild and that I have to apply for a British one. Is this true and if so, how do I go about it?

I have already been on the phone to the DVLA and to their website. It was proving quite difficult to get a straight answer so I thought I would try this sight. Thanks anyway.
