G'day Fatboyslim...you have good taste in music

May have to break it down into manageable bite size chunks.

Alan Lucas is a good start for Queensland and NSW;

The late Noel Patrick for the Curtis coast i.e. central Queensland.

100 Magic Miles for the Whitsundays is a lovely guide.

Cheers
Trace

"Western Australian Cruising" published by FSC is a small boat pilot that covers the whole of the WA coast.

Nah, that just depends on which way you stack them in the bookshelf!!

Have a look here

www.sailnet.com/forums/oceania/58138-cruising-guides-australia.html

as a good place to start.

Victoria has "Creeks and Harbours of Gippsland Lakes" and a similar "Creeks and Harbours of Port Philips Bay" or something like that. And don't miss Refuge Cove

Also get a copy of the ORCV "Rip Guide". also not a bad idea to go along on one of the Rip courses run by the ORCV, you actually go out through the Rip which is interesting.
