17 HMR Comp. matches around Sydney . any ?

Hi There,
Are there any Comp. matches for 17 HMR around Sydney ? I seem to recall the SSAA introduced a match for shooters that had 17 HMR or .22 HMR. & not a 22 LR for which there are lots of various matches, when I queried them as to where around Sydney they shot it I was informed it is only shot in Qld. !! I should have read the SSAA book a bit more carefully otherwise I probably would have bought a .22 LR instead of the 17 HMR. Although I am really happy with my Zastava.

Mate mostly smallbore. There are sometimes invitationals at Anzac SSAA where you can use whatever you like (under 8mm). Then there's MRCA's non-service class - although the little 17hmr will struggle to keep up beyond 100m. There's Alpine club also.
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

The ssaa silverdale range runs 22lr prs22 shoots but 17hmr is a no go, but why not just buy a 22lr if you want to complete.
