Got back and cut it into bite sized chunks, washed them under the tap to get hair off (whoops) and then chucked it all in a big bowl to marinate over night in the fridge. Gonna cook a big goat curry tonight for the fam. Did I do anything wrong? What did I do right and what can I improve?

the only thing I could suggest to improve on what you did would be to go to a local Indian supply store ( big one at Fitzroy ) and get some authentic spices for your curry - they can help with dried spices - neighbours could help with green herbs - just make it so much better - but ya going great mate - wash when ya did okay because you then continued processing - its when you wash and then hang up or store wet without cooling you have problems - no learn a good recipe with authentic spices for you goat curry and you are half way to becoming a legend
