Just to bring it back home - does Australia force all tourist
photographers to have a $5m insurance? I doubt it. Make it clear that
this is non-commercial... are you requesting special access to areas
of the park normally off-limits to regular visitors? If not, then
there shouldn't be any need for extra insurance. Just be clear,
you're just another member of the public, albeit one who shoots
photos in a slightly different way!
