Link Swapping & Portal Sharing

Ideal for fishing clubs, boating groups and any other marine organization's.

We also understand search engine optimisation and ranking importance, that underpins the benefits and practice of link swapping.

Consequently, we encourage all genuinely interested parties, who operate appropriate websites in similar, aligned or associated industries, to complete this email and send us the details of your request.

Check conditions, before boating

No longer will have to drive to the water's edge to check out the conditions before deciding whether or not to go boating. Now just log on from your office or home (interstate or overseas) to see the LIVE images, down here from the top of the Lighthouse, some 60ft above the water at St Kilda Marina.

You will notice, our Web Cam display's compass directions, so mariners can familiarise themselves with the sorrounds and better understand the wind and water effect on conditions, so as to increase their on-water safety.

This safety initiative, is proudly sponsored by Club Marine Insurance, Australia's largest pleasure craft insurer.

How our Web Cam works

Our Web Cam provides full colour LIVE images to your computer (or compatible phone) via a complex high-speed & secure ADSL2 wireless network (pic right, antenna on left), back to our Boat Sales office then onto a streaming server from our friends at Swellnet, straight to the Internet. All of this data (vision) is captured from our specialist Pelco camera, mounted on the top of Lighthouse 60ft above the water (pic right, camera on right) at St Kilda Marina, where our Web Cam is permanently situated.

Our Web Cam experience is truly-engaging, giving users the unique ability to view the top-end of Port Phillip Bay as our camera automatically sweeps on a pre-programmed path.

We capture and broadcast actual bay conditions and on-water activity, LIVE to the computer user. Supported by easy access to our live Weather Bureau data feed, computer users can plan their on-water activity easily from a single and reliable data source.

Swellnet operates dozens of Web Cam (Surf Cam) installations around Australia, so streaming LIVE images and data is there area of expertise. Most Surf Life Saving Clubs around Australia, proudly have a Swellnet Surf Cam installed to beam LIVE data via the Internet, to the surfing communitiy.

Swellnet began in 1998, with Ben Matson's initial forecasts sent out to a small network by fax and email. This evolved into an online service in March 2002, and Swellnet forecasts are now contracted by many of the WCT competitions including the Quiksilver Pro (Gold Coast, Fiji, Japan and France), the Rip Curl Pro (Bells Beach) and the Billabong Pro (Teahupoo).
