    Go into your local Dept Transport Customer Service Centre and ask them for a free copy "The Guide to Recteatiomal Boating", read it from cover to cover and you cannot go wrong - also gives you all info on fishing as well.

    Grab yourself a free copy of the "no go zones" booklet as well .

    you can also do a "refresher course" with your local boat licence provider, he/she will charge between $100 to $150 for that depending on if you want to drive his/her boat.

    I don't think the boating rules have changed that much, I would be more worried about the Green Zones and fish regulations. They seem to change every 6 months or so.

    Beacon to Beacon contains the basic details you need.

    Shrek, Go to you local VMR/Coast Guard base and get a briefing from one of the skippers or the duty officer. Small Ships and Beacon to Beacon books are good reference as well. Send me a PM with email address and I'll post you a heap of stickers along with the Qld Guide to Recreational Boating free. Also have a look at vhfradiocourse.com
