These shots of the interior of an Australian Boat show some interesting differences in building practice. This is a predominantly glass boat (which is much better for photos!). Built mid 1990s.
Shell with Interior bulkheads. You can also spot the characteristic Australian Rigging cradle (don't know what they're really called). These have never been seen over in the UK, but they're a really neat idea. AIUI the boat lives in the cradle all the time off the water. If you look closely you can see how its shaped so that the boat can readily be rolled over on its side for rigging in the cradle with the gunwhales and bottom skin protected from even the most vicious of beaches.
General view aft. Note the appreciable gunwhale overhang. This is a rule difference really as the Australian rules prohibit the reverse chine topside flare seen in the UK, but in both cases the aim is to have the topsides as vertical as possible to promote clean flow separation at the chines when planing.
Foredeck on. The mastgate looks designed to take substantial loads from the rig, and I suspect the foredeck is much more of a load bearing structure than in UK practice, where its more common to see more substantial internal space frame.
Building the side tanks. Nice radiused tank tops for comfort. The technique used was to cut strips of foam, tack them onto the frames with pins and glue them together in position. They were then pulled off and glassed on the inside, then glued in place and glassed on the outside.
