You just come on to Brisbane. Ignore tdw...We got Moreton Bay, dozens of islands, happy marinas, friendly water police, a great Vol.Rescue Serv. and fantastic weather.
Not mention many yacht clubs who would welcome you and your mates.
Pick the right weather and head for the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays.
Get your clearance in at Scarborough, just to the north of Brisbane City.(about 15 miles) Bus and train to the city and it is a safe city.
Look me up at Queensland Cruising Yacht Club..
