Crikey. Didn't expect such a response.
Think I'll steer clear of 122.75; not so worried about YSBK mobil - long way from here. Making up our own frequency, excellent plan - it's making sure nobody else is using it for a valid purpose that's the problem!
Plenty to be getting on with in any case.. thanks

If you're trying to find an 'unused' VHF frequency go to
http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/re...arch.main_page
where you can do a frequency search which tells you who has what chunk(s) of the electromagnetic spectrum in Oz.
Then you merge that with what all the 'class' licences allow.
Go to
http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_286
which will then take you to
http://www.comlaw.gov.au/comlaw/legi...8?OpenDocument
where there is a list of allowed aviation frequencies within Oz
paraphrased
119.1 ; aero club operations, flying school operations and firespotting
119.2 ; Parachute club operations
120.4 ; Helicopter air to air communications only
120.8 ; Helicoper ground to air and air to ground communications
120.85 ; Aviation sport
121.5 ; Emergency location
122.5 ; Glider or sailplane operations
122.7 ; Glider or sailplane operations
122.9 ; Glider or sailplane operations
122.8 ; Fishing operations or mustering
123.1 ; SAR
123.2 ; SAR
123.45 ; Pilot to pilot communications
126.4 ; Charter purposes
126.35 ; TIBA traffic below FL200
127.9 ; Air show
128.9 ; Charter purposes
128.95 ; TIBA traffic above FL200
129.1 ; Aircraft industry testing
129.6 ; Crop dusting
129.9 ; Aerodrome operations
135.55 ; Charter purposes
135.95 ; Charter purposes above 20000'
With regard to 123.45 MHz, it isn't allocated to a specific entity, but it does appear in the Aviation class licence (see above).
Seems that 123.45 is also used over oceanic areas when beyond VHF range of ground stations (as Pill said)
