I'll be going to Ngukurr, NT this year. My niece teaches primary kids in the remote community's school. I would like to use a green laser pointer to show the kids what's in their sky. Can anyone please tell me if it's illegal to bring, say, a 5 or 10mW green laser pointer to the NT? If it is illegal (like it is in Vic) how do I obtain a permit? Local cop shop up there? Is it even possible to obtain a permit for astro purposes? Will airport authorities allow me to bring a laser on the plane from Melb and Darwin?
Hope the group can help with my question. NB: I haven't bought a laser.
Cheers,
