Thread: Another Aussie Invader

Hi Everyone and Thanks to Mike Ryland for telling me about this forum.

Im Scott 32 from Western Australia

Looking at coming over the ditch as they say for a couple of weeks in August both my girlfriend and I are keen hunters and were considering bringing our rifles to get some hunting in while we were there. Now we haven't made firm plans on where exactly we would like to go or even if its worth bringing our own gear. At this stage we are leaning towards hiring a Motorhome and self driving to see the sights etc. So if there is any recommendations on general travel and freedom camping that would be great to hear about aswell.


As far as the hunting goes we had been looking at lodges and trips but the cost makes it very prohibitive and probably unrealistic for us. We are not looking for a free ride and would be happy to pay a reasonable amount to be shown around someones spot etc (ill even buy the beers for after) we would be keen to hunt something different to what we get locally which is mainly foxes, pigs, rabbits, kangaroos etc. Would also love to catch some famous NZ Trout aswell. More looking for a casual type hunt with mates rather than a commercial type activity if that makes sense.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
Scott
