Hawker, there's nothing in the relevant Acts here, although a number of other countries ban it.
It is an offence to record or take photographs in a Customs Controlled Area, but that only applies to the barrier areas at international airports.
Bad
PR for the sake of being officious, IMHO (unless one of the baggies was sporting a camel suit
). Other, bigger airports allow it as long as you don't linger or leave the pax walk area. Maybe there's not enough to do at Ayers Rock airport...
The RAAF and USAF get a bit funny about legions of airport staff turning up with cameras but I've never known a civillian operator to mind. Surely the more happy photos of your aircraft in circulation the better it is for the operator?
