Newsflash. Port Phillip Bay is an almost entirely enclosed body of water and one can "track coastal" in either direction.
Newsflash for you then, sir: "tracking coastal" in the majority of posts in this thread refers to the Melbourne Coastal VFR route between Carrum and Melbourne City - as clearly marked on charts and used by anyone wanting to track along the eastern shore of Port Phillip towards the city wishing to avoid a mid-air with anyone coming the opposite direction. Just FYI. This airspace is under the control of ML CTR on 135.7, whereas the other side is (mostly) under AV APP 133.55
