I would like to add another separate but related question here for when any outfitters are able to respond...

After going through this mess with the customs forms and "proof of ownership"...

If you get the two month NT firearms permit and are going hunting for a week or two in NT does that permit allow you to possess your firearm anywhere in Australia?

Also are you allowed to possess the firearm or shoot or hunt on a friend's property in another state after the outfitted hunt is over but still within that 60 day period that the NT permit is valid?

I have added hours of fun for you to read if you will.

I think the best way is this. You probably need a permit for entering Australia from the state you enter through. If this is Sydney they seem to restrict the international hunter more than most by having a "Safari Tour Hunting Firearms permit". This is unfortunate as most hunters fly in via Sydney or Perth!

If you are hunting in the NT, the NT firearms licence is pretty broad and covers you for basically the rest of Australia mostly anyway. WA might be another one to specifically enquire re their requirements, inaddition to NSW.

Vic, SA, Tas, Qld and NT seem reasonable complementary.

Your NT outfitter will handle all this for you and get you to
supply the appropriate info. So it is nowhere near as bad as it seems.

I have posted info, links and contact info for all the states anyway.
