Hi Stuart

We can't wait, Dad has already booked a place to stay. We are going to stay over there for a couple of weeks and make a holiday out of it.

[Stuart Pethy]

that's great cant wait
 yes i will be posting up places to stay etc and what you need to do to transport your guns over to WA to keep the cops happy because our laws are crap
i will be going away for the next few weeks (holidays) but when i get back i will be getting everything in order for everyone

Hi Stuart

A year ago or so when I herd that the Nationals would be over in WA I thought that I would give it a miss as it would be just too costly for a shoot and hard to justify.  I spoke to Kathy and she thought it would be a great opportunity to visit Perth and the the hinterland and attend the shoot, so it looks like we will come over for atleast a week so we can get around to  see the highlights.  ie Margaret River is a must see.
Be sure to keep us posted on accommodation near the range  and I would be keen to hear from those who have traveled interstate by plane on just what the requirements are on carry firearms and ammo. Obviously need a carry case for both, but how secure does it need to be? Does the case need to meet some industry standard etc.

Cheers,


Dave Dundas

G'day Dave,


Good to see you and Kathy are contemplating heading over.  Here are a few links I have found when researching the subject so far.

CARRYING FIREARMS AND/OR AMMUNITION
ON THE QANTAS/JETSTAR GROUP NETWORK

Looks like you need to acquire a permit when entering WA with firearms. Its a Temporary Permits Form 6 LSF17

https://www.police.wa.gov.au/Police-Direct/Firearms 

"Temporary Permits are issued at a cost of $59.00 per month or part there of, and are paid by sending in a cheque or money order made payable to the ‘Commissioner of Police’ and posted to Licensing Enforcement Division, Locked Bag 9. East Perth WA 6892. Once the cheque or money order has been received the temporary permit will be posted out to the recipient with a receipt for the amount paid."

This link should download the LSF17 PDF.

I'm even looking into holding the presentations on the sunday arvo/night there as i have been told they have a bar there haha and we can sort out food etc seeing on how many people can make it , but i need to see what we can sort out .. early days atm
but yeah its an awesome set up they have there  

i will also post up some links to hotel/apartment rooms in Joondalup approx 10km from range this week

I have been looking for  a reason to visit W.A.   Only problem is flying with a 35kg heavy gun. I might have to look into sending guns  and rests by courier maybe????

Hi Stuart,
Mick would like to know if there's a pensioners discount??

Cheers Jason

[Vince V]

Brisbane will make an appearance as well !

[Peter Cross]

Hi Stuart

It never even dawned on me to ask this question before. Stella and I will be heading over and sharing a rifle for each of the 3 categories, I assume (maybe incorrectly) there will be at least 2 details for each ?

Thanks

Peter.

[Stuart Pethy]

yeah Peter there will be 2 details for sure


Also just letting you all know we will be putting on a free BBQ lunch on all 3 days and will be suppling some free water and cool drinks for everyone also

[Peter Cross]

Thanks Stuart for the quick response that's good to hear. We are both looking forward to it and free BBQ's makes it even more enticing    

Thanks Again
