I've heard some of the land down that way is dense, I reckon a Lever Action with open sights would be the go or the Jungle Carbine would be fine too, not like you are taking long range shots, you just need something you can point quickly and take a shot with.

Exactly, the ranges there across open territory were never more than 100m, and by the 30-30 shells found there while camping, somebody else had the same idea.
The thick scrub warrants something that isn't about to stop halfway to the deer because it hit a tiny twig anyway. Up here in the north west though, some of the bushland is so overgrown and thick (Like the women ) you can't take anything else but a short carbine or even a pistol into it. Trying to drag a 28 inch Double barrel through scrub with no open spaces bigger than 4cm squared has been an experience, I'll say.

God love it that would of been a PITA big time I'd imagine I don't bother hunting in the think stuff anymore, just too hard for me to do now and half the time you spook more than you see so I'd rather find easier country to hunt in if I can and I do lot's of sitting and glassing more than walking, it works better for me (being a lazy bastard) sitting and waiting on a game trail suits me fine.

Just before you head off for a holiday at Risdon (state prison).
Hunting with a hand gun is not legal in Tas and blasting away at a pademelon with a 357 would be a total waste of ammo.

Somehow I had a feeling Captain Obvious would arrive. I've spoken to people who have used 38s and 357s, and they are in fact effective on pademelons and bennets. Handgun hunting has been something I've discussed before, regarding legalization at least

That's Sir General Obvious, to you!
I never said the round would not be effective but firing a pistol in tight scrub at a small, fast moving target with a very limited window for target acquisition and you are in complete fantasy land.
