Hey Chopes, in view of your last post I'm sure you would have some valuable insights for the forum topic 'food for extended passages'…were you a provisioning officer for the British Navy in a former life?
Greg 
Chopes obviously reckons that a good food for extended voyages is goat on the hoof.
This info is already out there....
Try ROB'S PASSAGE PLANNER
For us on the East Coast from Hobart to Cairns all the info such as distance, radio freq., Marina's [plans and contact details] is to be found in this publication.
What more do you want?? 
Hi nswsailor,
Thanks for including that resource.
Yeah I'm aware that this information is already available, but it's not compiled in an online, interactive, real-time, easy to access, searchable format.
As more and more people use mobile devices it makes sense to have an online solution that shows prices fit your vessel so you can compare offerings and book a berth without the need to fill out several applications, kind of like what 1Form does in the real estate industry.
I refuse to use the word goat and curry in the same sentence!
Hang on...bugger
I'm thinking. ...why just marinas?
Why not borrow abirbs business model 
Plenty of water front houses / unit complex on east coast of oz with empty jettys
People could connect to jetty owners and stay that way much cheaper and in many cases superior location
Marinas will be upset... but such is life
I'm a ideas man
And so is my goat
I like both marinas and my Anchor ground tackle
I would prefer to anchor than pick up a mooring
The only time I have picked a mooring is in the Whitsundays as the moorings are usually the closest to the good reefs. I will scull drag them up my to my bow roller at nights to prevent them banging my hull during tide changes.... Marina's are great for taking the worries of watching weather and keeping constant watch as you do when on anchor Or moorings.
you do need to have a anchor you can trust . My opinon the best is the Marsh and second would be the Manson supreme.
Hey Chopesbro, yeah I believe there's a website that's launched that offers boat owners to rent out their empty berth. Pretty nifty as a berth owner if you have a space available!
And I completely agree with you southace. Plenty of swing moorings around but we trust our anchor more than anything because you don't even know if the mooring you want to pull up on has been serviced. Even the pink courtesy moorings look a bit dodgy sometimes too.
