So we found some weird orange floats out fishing today, first we pulled over to take a look, then some plane buzzed us a few times.
It didn't have any obvious missiles or guns, but we took the hint and left them alone after that.
Later we phoned a friend, he said they're some sort of disposable acoustic toy for detecting submarines. We really wanted to see a colins class on the sounder, so we hung around for awhile, but we didn't get a visit.

I heard a few securitae calls on channel 16 today, didn't hear the location though as I had it turned down (guessing Exmouth region) but it was for naval/air force training.

We saw a ship out, a choppers
We saw a ship out, a choppers and even a jet. We didn't really put it all together till we got a flyby after we pulled over to pick up what we thought was floating rubbish. After we saw the electronics and the plane, we decided it was in-use and left them to it.
