Off airfield/runway ops

just finished watching the flying wild alaska, interesting,

but watching the 207 well almost scud running back to deadhorse, it got me to thinking of the legalities of landing on a dirt road, paddock, hilltop etc in rural australia if weather closes in, obviously its a prec search and landing, but if the weather clears again, and the road/paddock whatever is long enough , clear of obstacles etc, can you legally depart and continue your journey?

so basically, flying along, 500ft, agl, cloud to 1000 base and lowering, can you legally find a nice suitable landing area, land, wait out the weather/storm/whatever, take off then continue your flight a few hrs later? \what ramifications arise from doing such a thing?
