Yes they do,but they are reluctant to do so because of the actions of others who have been there & done stupid things, therefore spoiling it for those who follow.

Once bitten twice shy sort of thing.

The checks are constantly ongoing and random. Police patrol bush land and any area around places that are known for hunting.

When you go for a liscence you have to make a declaration as to what the gun will be used for. If it is for hunting you can't just go off and hunt anywhere you have to belong to a hunting club or organisation and produce proof of this . If it is for vermin you have to produce proof in the form of written consent of the property owners that you wish to remove vermin from. Farmers have special identification numbers for this purpose.

If it's for sport you must produce proof of membership of a shooters sporting club.

If you were to discharge a firearm in this country you'll be caught charged with a firearms offence and put back on a plane back home unless it's at a shooting range or a registered club.

Oh well thank you...
