Why don't you get the R licence or whatever it's called in NSW and just get into it?
Browning BL-22 lever action...open sights
T3 Varmint .204 Ruger...Meopta Meostar 4-16X44
T3 Lite .30-06 Sprg...Aimpoint Hunter 1X red dot

....that will do me

I don't know anyone who has properties "near" Sydney, closes to have is Bathurst, orange, Goulburn, singleton, Coolah. Hell even Lithgow is over 2 hrs for me.

As for state forests. There are plenty with game but you've got to travel. The closest to sydney that I know holds anything is sunny corner or Pennsylvania, again just over 2 hrs.

Unless you're willing to get an R licence I think you'll need to expand your search mate. As for it changing it's only cganged once after the game council failed and was stopped for 7 months but it's been up and running pretty much as before ever since

Rec shooting what firearm / calibre?

Must be an indoor .22 range somewhere nearby for some little fun.
