Peter,

Australian national parks require a permit if you are doing
university-type of research, you have to pay for one and there are
loads of conditions.  And if you want to take photos and use them for
a commercial purpose, again, you need a permit.

For personal research or recording it is best to just keep a low
profile and get on with it, and tell anyone who asks that it is just
for hobby purposes.

Oh, and watch out for shooters, now that recreational hunting is
allowed in Australian national parks :-(
