Answer 2

G'day mate go to a police station and ask you would like to go 4 yr shooters license.But you must have a reason y you want it.Target shooting then you have to join a club,hunting you need a letter from the farmer you go to or go to natural resources and environment and pay 11 dollars for it and put it in with yr  firearm application.You will have to sit a test it's easy it's all common sense.Ask for the safty book.cheers mate

Answer 3

dont know what state you're in,

but in victoria you have to sit and pass a longarms session for category a and b license, go to a police station and fill out the required form they provide, send it in the mail, then wait 28 days for your license to turn up

then

you have to send away another form for the firearm you want to purchase, and as it will be your first you will have to wait 28 days for the permit to acquire to return

so at minimum 2 months from now you can go bunny rabbit shooting with your own firearm, thats if you are in vic, but i am 80% sure its roughly the same in all states

EDIT

oh yes you need legit reasons, like joining the SSAA: http://www.ssaa.org.au/ ,

and a letter from someone who holds land saying you can hunt there, your uncle maybe!
