Answer #1:

Deathwatch by Robb White
This is the plot of Deathwatch, but, I don't think the book is set in Australia; they are in the California desert

It features a skilled, successful hunter and business man, Madec, who goes to the desert after receiving a rare permit to shoot bighorn in the desert. He hires a 22-year-old college student named Ben, who is going to help show Madec where the bighorn are.

After the third day of the venture, Madec accidentally shot an old man who was living in the mountains, and he wanted Ben to keep it a secret, as he was a man of importance who did not have time to sit in jail. Ben said that the honest thing to do was for the two of them to report the accidental shot, but Madec had other ideas. Ben was stubborn and refused to comply with Madec. As a result, Madec gave Ben two choices. Madec could shoot Ben on the spot, or Ben could make an attempt to escape the desert by walking 45 miles to the nearest highway without clothes, food, or water. And worst of all was that Madec would make sure Ben wouldn't make it and that he would be watching him the whole way.
