To be allowed to shoot in parks such as these you have to get an R licence.
In order to get this you need to be a member of either a bow hunting associationn, or a shooting associationn. Being a member of these gives you insurance.
You then need to do an exam identifying different animals, sexes and their kill zones. A pratical test is also required to display your accuracy. Passing this you apply to the game council, who can still say no.
Also from what I can understand, you need to book your time in the State Forests, so most likely this would happen in the National parks.
I'm going for my R licence eventually with Archery, different skills but just as deadly.
Above is my understanding of what is required.
Don't know about cost yet.
