IMPORTANT HUNTING INFORMATION

A firearms permit is required and hunters should be very vigilant when preparing their Australian firearms applications, allowing at least 2 months for applications to be processed.  A firearms permit application can be obtained by following this link http://www.sapolice.sa.gov.au/sapol/services/firearms_weapons.jsp to the Victory Police web site where the form can be filled out online.

Entry points into Australia are most commonly Sydney or Brisbane.

If hunting with us in New Zealand then travelling to Australia to hunt, we will accompany you on the journey and your port of entry will be Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney.  If traveling directly from the US and hunting in Australia only, we will meet you at your Australian arrival point or destination (Sydney may be your first arrival point), and travel to the hunting area.

Please note: a visa will be required for Australia.

If you are hunting in the northern parts of Australia, be prepared for hot humid weather for most of your hunt. However, pack for colder weather if hunting in southern Australia.

Suitable calibres for hunting banteng and buffalo include 338 win mag (as a minimum) and the 375 H&H. If hunting in the southern regions then 308 – 300 win mag are the most popular.

Traditional spot and stalk methods are used in most instances, with access being mainly 4X4. Vast distances may be travelled in a day in some areas. Access to the hunting camps in the Northern Territory is by fixed wing charter flights.
