Welcome Mate! Tell us something more about your hunting interest and experience.
Especially if you can tell me about hunting buffalo in the Northern Territory. It's on my list.

Usually hunt New England area, deer, pigs, goats etc.. Never hunted buffalo or scrub bulls but imagine it'd be pretty good.

The new England area is great I've got a few good feeds of fallow from the G.I. area.

Heading down to guyra next week although a bit hot, border finally open so the old fella (75) can come for a weekend walk in the paddock. I have a new Mauser M12 Expert in 30-06 with an Aimpoint to chase some pigs hopefully.

Hunted the adavale area but the gov't had just done an areal cull so a complete waste of time.. I like a plan the calibers you have except the 243. To me it's to big for small and to little for medium. Love the 25/06 and the 35 Whelen.
You also have a great gun shop up there in gold coast shooters supplies.

Nah that would be Dad, figure I will drop into Ebor on the way down, he started me hunting when I was six there so I thought it'd be good just me and him for a couple of days.
The 243 is a little ZKK601 that I have just picked up, not sure what I will do for it yet, use to load for the wife's Model Seven in 243 mostly.

Gold Coast Shooters is owned by a friend of mine, good shop for finding things that aren't always available. I have been looking at the odd 9.3x62 hmmm and there is a whole different thought...
