Help with locating a shooting range, PLEASE!

[pilotsignal]

I used to visit Hill Top Shooting Range in NSW for my .223 practice.
Since September this year, this range is closed until further notice and I am unable to locate, any and I mean it, any! shooting range for my centre fire .223 rifle which provides 100-300m shooting distance.
I checked all I could find on the net such as:
- Sydney International Shooting Centre - only 50m .22
- St Marys Indoor Shooting Centre - .22 only
- Western Sydney Rifle Club - can't reach on the phone, no response on my voice messages so far
- German rifle club - Air only
- SSAA Silverdale Rifle Range - can't reach on the phone, no response on my voice messages so far
- Nowra Shooting Range - can't reach on the phone, no response on my voice messages so far
Also, contacted SSAA without much help.
I live in Wollongong, NSW and can't drive more than 3 hours one way. So, if anyone can help me to find a shooting range I can use, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks.

How long does it take you to drive to Canberra, there is a 500 metre and 1000 metre range there.

Last time I drove to Canberra it took me over 3 hours one way. Too far to visit more or less regularly.
BTW, will my NSW firearm licence be valid in ACT? I am not sure.

Yes, your licence is valid in all states.
Any firearms must be legal in any states you enter though.
If you go to WA you need temporary permits for firearms as they don't recognise other state's registrations.

Only one that comes to mind that's not on your list is ANZAC in Sydney. I don't know the range so I don't know which clubs use it but contact Military Rifle Clubs Association.

Since I've already booked Silverdale I will go there. But next time will visit ANZAC range.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
