NRMA stands for National Road Motorists Association.  However, despite the
word "National", the NRMA  is not an Australia-wide body, but the
association for the state of New South Wales.  There are similar
organisations in the other states as well: RAA, RACV, RACQ, etc.  There is
a national peak organisation called the AAA: Australian Automobile
Association.
