How to rejuvenate decking and surrounding fence?

I'm hoping for advice please, with regard to my decking and the fencing around the edges. We've recently moved to a new house, the decking looks very neglected, and I have no info re what wood it is etc. It was mouldy so we did a chemical strip (sodium percarbonate & then oxalic acid), so the mould is gone. But my question is what next? 

Im hoping the fencing doesn't need replacing as it seems sturdy, but is full of cracks and looks dried out. I see some advice on similar projects says to fill the cracks, but this is full of them. You can see the handrail looked a lot better after sanding, but again, what next?

I've used cabots aquadeck for my main deck, I believe it's a great product, but I'm not sure it's the right thing for this deck, and it doesn't seem like it would be enough on it's own. 

Im in south east queensland, this deck will be in harsh conditions. 

Please could anyone advise? TIA
