Just in time for New Years Eve I have found an excellent website, that combined with the various marine radio systems that we are aware of, can make monitoring Sydney waterways an enjoyable pasttime
http://www.marinetraffic.com/
Reported as live realtime tracking of marine vessels anywhere in the world, using AIS decoder shipplotter
It tends to be concentrated around the big ports around Australia where folk have the decoders
Home in on Sydney or wherever you are interested in, using the google maps like tools
Useful aids:
1. Sydney Port Corp. Daily Shipping Movements

2. Radio traffic
800Mhz AAP Trunking
Mixture of Type 1 and Type II radios - around 40 in total
Talkgroup 35968, 35984, 36000, 36016, 36032, 36048, 36064, 36080 Sydney Ports Corporation

TG40656 Sydney Ferries
NSWGRN P25 Digital
TG10901-10950 Sydney Ferries
