Temporary import of a rifle into Oz

I may be visiting my sister near Melbourne probably for about 5 months and I started wondering if I could bring my BLR 308 with me, are there a lot of hoops to jump through and is it possible?

Yes, it is possible. Many people coming here for organized hunts bring their own rifle with them. it is a bit of a process, and there are regulatory requirements at both ends. to start from this end go to the police.vic.gov.au website and scroll to International Visitors Permit.
