You will have to have a gun license & then you will have to have your guns locked up very safe & secure. Ours are so safe & secure I don't even know where the keys are.

What are the various times of hunting seasons if there are any?...

And I'm sure many people travel out in the bush with firearms...I don't see the potential of policing enforcement going on in that particular circumstance...

When we owned our sheep & cattle station,we had people from all over the place who came to shoot feral animals. Wild pigs that used to rip our new born lambs to peices,foxes,rabbits. Some shot goats but they were used for food.
The rule with the guns out there was no loaded guns to come over our boundry ramp & into the house yard,safety was the main thing.

No goats were allowed to be shot unless they were eaten,as we used to round them up on motorbikes & sell them.Besides that we couldn't allow wholesale slaughter of animals just for the fun of it. Not on in my book.

One person shot our pet goat ,they were told it was a pet.
He was ordered of the place never to return.
We never took payment from these people as then we had the final say as to what they could & could not do on our property.
We made friends with all of the regular shooters & they still go out to the property & call in to see us as they pass through town.

It is hard to police who has guns .

Hunting is allowed all year round except for duck hunting,there is a season for that ,not sure when in August .
There is no duck hunting this year because of the drought,ducks are scarce because of lack of water.

That sounds great...

I'm wondering what the law is for foreigners...Do they allow anyone to hunt anywhere at any time, obviously associated with the laws?...

You cannot hunt anywhere you like. Very hard to find properties to hunt on these days out this way. To many idiots have spoilt it for the serious shooters.

You would have to find a place that allows hunting & you would have to have a current gun license,not sure how you would go about that unless you were living here.

Why come over here to Hunt there are so many other great things to do.

[AussiePam]

But Kaylene - if you're not the hunter, you're the .... hunted!!! And that means, no matter how fast and gracefully gazelle-like KS runs, bits of him are going to be stung / bitten / poisoned - and could most inconveniently drop off...

Doesn't personal land owners have the authority to let hunters hunt on their land?...
