Qld Rescue Contact details +other usefull files

[subzero]

I posted this a while back and have been asked to post it again.
The document is attached in pdf format. It lists all contact details for Rescue Groups, both VMR and Coast Guard in Qld, listed in order going from South to North.

The original document was copied from Leisure Marines web page located at http://www.leisure-marine.com.au/GenInfo/links.asp and I acknowledge their work in compiling and posting the original.

I have corrected a couple of the phone numbers that I know were wrong, and updated some other information such as the frequencies monitored by several of the units.

I have also removed the area code for Qld (07) from all phone numbers to make it fit the page better.

This was originaly compiled in August 2005 so I do not vouch for the total accuracy of this document but I believe it to be now the most detailed and accurate one that is available. Because of recent changes within some Coast Guard units and their apparent no longer monitoring of 27Mhz Radio in some areas, I have sent several requests to the National Commodore, Chris Gillet requesting clarification but he has not responded.
I would be very careful relying on 27Mhz communications at Coast Guard units in Qld without first seeking clarification at local level that in fact they are monitored

If anyone knows of any errors, please contact me and I will amend and update the details and repost

Kind Regards
Lloyd

For those that find these files usefull, I suggest you print, laminate, and keep them in your boat for later use if required.

Thanks Lloyd,

the Laminating bit is a good idea, especially when you keep them in a boat.



cheers,

[gropeher]

Thanks Lloyd,
I will laminate and post in a handy position on the boat on some form of draw string for all to use.

Cheers again, Ryan..

List of MMSI numbers, the ones I suspect are from Qld I have hilighted red. The other States I have hilighted blue. No offence intended to anyone, I am a Kiwi and wouldnt have a clue where most of these places are.

Lloyd,

This is an excellent resource. Thanks for putting in the time and effort, and thanks to Steve for making it sticky.

Just one quick question that I've never understood - how does someone know which VMR/CG to log on with when it's unclear which "jurisdiction" your vessel is in - eg where would you log in with CG Redcliffe as opposed to VMR Sandgate etc if you're somewhere in the middle of the two or further afield at say Moreton?

Thanks again mate,
Mike

[subzero]

Gidday Mike, their is no such thing as jurisdiction as such.

Log on with whoom ever you feel most comfortable with. We all do the same job, both VMR and Coast Guard's and no unit or member will feel offended or insulted that you didnt log on with them. (In fact most will feel gratitude that you have logged on with someone).

Usualy, where ever possible, it will be at the the unit closest to departure, especially if that unit is based where you are physicaly leaving from.
If you have logged on at their window they will more than likely have gleamed some extra details out of you such as your car/trailer make rego and colour. This is handy if you are overdue, they can check the carpark to see if your vehicle etc are still their or it may appear you have simply forgotten to log off. (They should still investigate further, but at a lesser priority and level if you were simply overdue and your car was still in the car park).

After a while, most units and their Crew will become familiar with their regulars and where ever possible keep an eye out on their vehicles whilst you are out on the water.

If in the event that you leave to early in the morning or late at night and the unit you leave from is still closed, log on with someone that is already open, get them to transfer your log on details for you when they do open, or log off, and log on yourself with your preferred unit when they open.

If you are undertaking a lenghthly voyage, if you request it, the units will forward your details from 1 unit to the next via Fax or Phone giving the E.T.A that you have provided and they will be listening out for your safe arrival. Some times, during the week when many units are unmanned, they will give you a phone number and ask you to ring it when you are safely at your destination. If they do not recieve your call, they will usually head down to their base, open up, and try and contact you by other means. (Radio). In the event this is unsuccessfull, they will contact VKR Water Police with your full details and let them decide as to the next step. Many factors for them to consider at this stage, experience, weather, history, familiarity with the area, daytime/nightime, number of persons, size of vessel, age, health, equipment carried etc etc.

If you have access to HF Radio, you can also use the "Ausrep" reporting system. Contact is made at least once daily, ONLY via Automated DSC messaging, giving your location at that time without you having to do anything. (Saves you forgetting to update and a big panic ensuing). This is normaly used by Commercial Vessels but CAN be used by Rec Boatie's.

The key to it all, is having those details in the first place, we will only have them if you have logged on in the first place, as the old Nike add go's "Just do it" ;D

I have attached a Vessel Log on Sheet that the Qld Water Police issue to the units and the public which has most of the same info a unit at local level would ask for. (Generaly this particular sheet is designed for the longer trips).
Feel free to print it out, fill in the details, and slide it under the door of your local Rescue Group before heading out if they are not open. They will transfer the details to their log and keep an eye out for your safe return. Please ensure that it goes where they will find it though, not the out house door or something. If you do frequently leave from the same unit, ask them for their own log on sheets, they will give you a copy, or copys and you can fill theirs in which may be a little different than the attached form, but still basicly have the same details.

Anyway, hope the info helps.
Kind Regards Lloyd

[2iar]

Thanks once again for taking the time to reply so comprehensively Lloyd.

That's definitely cleared it up for me.

Well done Subzero

Hi all, was just reminded the MMSI list needed up dating. It has now grown to large I am unable to paste it here

For the most recent list of MMSI numbers please go to
http://www.amsa.gov.au/search_and_rescue/Distress_and_Safety_Communications/Maritime_Mobile_Service_Identity/Search_for_an_MMSI_number.asp

Without entering ANY SEARCH TERMS or CRITERIA click on the SEARCH button. This will then display a full list of allocated MMSI numbers

I converted it to pdf and was going to post it here but it is 256kb, to large for the 100kb limit


Kind Regards
Lloyd

[marlinqld]

Thanks also Lloyd.

Have printed out all docs and laminated them for the boat.

see you are member of VMR?

I was inducted last week, and holiday on Monday is my first day's roster as active crew member. Joined up with VMR Raby Bay.

Have been going to do it for eyars and finally got round to it.

I am sure i am in for an enjoyable time with the VMR, great bunch of blokes ( and a few women ) all working for a common cause.

[subzero]

marlinqld, good luck on Monday and I home you enjoy your time volunteering. It is a MAJOR commitment you are taking on but it is all very satisfying most of the time. VMR Raby Bay is a great unit with highly skilled members and great equipment.
I look forward to catching up with you sometime.
Kind Regards
Lloyd
P.s Say hi to Keith Williams for me, top bloke.... if you dont know him yet he is the bloke that just about lives there, puts in an absolutely massive effort :-)

[jeffrey_h]

great effort, will take sometime to put it all together but sounds worth while.

new 2 boating

Jeffrey

[garpe]

Thanks very much, i,will be copying and laminating aswell
cheers
very helpful

[whichway]

Thanks to Lloyd for this

I don't know if this is still accurate, but the following is a list of VHF repeater frequencies that I couldn't find elsewhere on this post:

21 Lighthouse - Cape Moreton
22 reservoir Viewland Drive - Noosa Heads
80 Mt Wolvi - Double Island Point
80 Point Lookout (Lighthouse) - North Stradbroke
81 Mt Glorious - Brisbane
82 Big Angle - Sandy Straights
82 Yellowwood Hill - Benleigh

If anyone knows where an accurate and up to date record of this information is kept, then that would be very handy

Whichway

[subzero]

Gidday Whichway, good info mate, the only one I actually new the location of the repeater and the corresponding channel were located was Ch-80, Pt Lookout. The rest I had no idea off which were which. Where did you manage to find this info? I will include it in my little information thingee I am writing as I update it.
Cheers Lloyd

[QF2]

Hi Whichway,

A good marine radio frequency checklist is on the MSQ web site..

http://www.msq.qld.gov.au/qt/msq.nsf/index/volunteer_contacts

You will find all the repeater frequencies up the coast, along with the respective CG/VMR contact details.
