I have decided against going to Australia. The government has made it clear they would prefer communism. It will be hard to put up with the red tape to take my own gun. I need an extremely short LOP so I don't wish to use the outfitter's gun. I have thought about it for quite a while and talked to quite a few people on several boards. Thanks for the offers though. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.
