Did not know about these frequencies until my scanner picked them up from my home base.
164.1875 - st-162.2 - Volunteer Marine Rescue with reports from Middle Harbour
165.025 - st- 162.2 - VMR - reports from Port Kembla (TX at Maddens Plains)
Other frequencies up & down the coast & inland waters:
154.450, 154.575, 154.625 all simplex.
They have some HF channels also.

another batch of freqs that Im chasing are the ones that Marine Rescue talk to RTA staff on to book bridge openings etc.

I have one so far which is used by Marine Rescue Lake Macquarie to talk to the bridge operator at Swansea. Its in the 471MHz band. I hear MR passing on booking times from boaties, or if an emergency bridge opening is needed

Any help chasing these is appreciated

Theres just over 400 licenses to this organisation on the ACMA so I didn't get to go through all to findout what the other VHF repeater frequencies were.
