[Paddlewise] Shortwave radio

Can anyone recommend a rugged and reliable portable shortwave radio and
appropriate frequencies for picking up marine weather forecasts in
Australia? Coast guard reports are not always available on the VHF radio and
my mobile phone is sometimes a bit unreliable when out of town.

All the best, PeterO
