Really? Mine was all spoken... And I've had my license for only a few years so not like we're talking an age ago.

Funny you say that. I've done the test twice. Once when I turned 18 as I wanted my license but never followed through on the paperwork and 5 years ago when I finally got around to getting it 6 years later.
First test was a sit down session at an old blokes home with a video and handouts followed by practical test with a 22 and the second time me and the missus went down to the local range, answered a few basic questions and we were done.

It sounds like NSW is the easiest state to get a license from what I've been reading here.
Ring FAR for paperwork, find somone at a range to do test (every range has at least 1 person able to do it), send paperwork off with safety course certificate and genuine reason, wait from a month to 6 weeks and your all sweet to head to the rta for a photo if your approved.

Looks like next wednesday is sate firearm safety course day lol!!

I did mine in Jan, might be slightly different between courses..... and the video was ancient, they said apparently there is a new one in production though. Basically even if it is all spoken (with or without powerpoint) they make sure you known everything prior to your test.
