I strongly doubt that you could successfully keep shingles outdoors in brissy, i've kept shingles for many years and while i live in their natural range extended periods of high(ish) humidity has brought down older lizards with respitory problems.
It's not worth the risk problems can occur very quickly, any long time shingleback keeper will tell you the same thing.
I know people on the coast who had problems keeping them indoors.

Any reptile has to thermoregulate their body temp, they are cold blooded.
As for wild shingles in Brissy i would say someone is pullin your leg, not gonna happen.
