It's fairly difficult to install a private AWS. The BoM are usually involved in site selection, installation and commissioning and the costs are likely to be ongoing and economically prohibitive in terms of initial set up, maintenance, data monitoring and recording. You can try SSU at the Bureau of Met. who should be able to give you the information you need. Another thing to consider is the addition of an AWS extension to enable the data to be converted to voice for VHF broadcast or telephone access. A company called Seamist Pty Limited manufactures these (known as a WATIR). They may also be able to assist.
