The radar coverage in Aus is quite limited, the coverage is mostly limited to what we call the j-curve which basically gives radar coverage in an area from Adelaide around to Brisbane covering most of tassie at high levels. There is also some coverage about 250nm around Perth.
Radar coverage actually extends well north of Brisbane. High level aircraft are covered to about 200nm north of Cairns.

Yeah right..
I've never heard of a trainee quit on day one of final field training because of their allocated sectors.
