Travelling in own car? A recent case held that the cost of travel from full-time place of employment to his part-time place of employment was deductible (ie work to work). Remember, however, that an employee cannot deduct the ordinary cost of travel to and from their usual place of employment. If you must carry very large bulky work items then maybe you can claim to and from home.

Here's an idea:
Ask your employer to give you a travel allowance, especially if you are in the building game. The award often has provision for this.  You are entitled to claim reasonable travel expenses if incurred in the course of gaining income. And there is no direct evidence to be kept by you, so long as you claim less than the reasonable amounts in the tables of Taxation Determination TD 2010/19.
