These I shot in preparation for my trip to Australia last year. In the end, I didn't take the rifle because of miles of red-tape in Oz.




Yes it was a great shame Curl did not bring any of the planned rifles. Originally a fine double or two. Then later the .458, less pain if it ran into bureaucratic problems! Didn't bring a rifle at all in the end. Not worth the risk.

Why?

SA and Vic, were no big problems for the visiting man bringing a rifle.

The NT is IMPOSSIBLE. The Police attitude is only persons hunting with someone with an outfitter licence or attending some 'big' target shoot can get a visitors firearms licence.

An NT NE member questions the validity of this police attitude.

But the problem remained of what happens when Curl tried to fly out from Darwin? 99% chance, having SA and Vic firearms licences, and Federal permits etc no problems.But the 1%... In the end regarding the hunting, the Police said , "what we don't know about, we don't know about" !!! ie the bush.

BTW a NT Police Firearms Outfitter licence, DOES NOT EXIST. They merely call another form, probably a corporate licence an "outfitters licence". I even considered trying to get Nitro Express Pty Ltd one of these licences. But needed a property letter for this plus lots of hassles. No way to ask the property owner, she would have told us to go away and not even hunt there if I asked this. As it was that was the last hunt on the place with Curl, as the property owner had another Aussie hunter ffffup during a hunt and cause her problems. And she was re-leasing the place WHILE we were there anyway.

BTW everyone told me how easy it all was in the NT but had never tried it themselves ... or perhaps the visitor like Pappas visited as part of a BGRC National Shoot and hunted after that, or uses an NT registered outfitter.

BTW the BGRC Internationals will be in Darwin next September 2020, per a thread on NE.

Good accuracy from your rifle Curl.
