Do you only want to fish off the rocks? How about fishing from the beach? It's safe and you can catch pretty much everything from the sand depending on your set-up.... Bream, Flathead, Jewfish, Australian Salmon, Tailor, Sharks....
You'll need a beach rod but you can get those pretty cheap.
Go early morning or late afternoon, learn how to find gutters and use fresh or live bait if possible.
Good luck!
