The determination area comprises the land and waters described in Annexure 2 to this schedule and generally shown as bordered in dark blue on the Maps which are Annexure 1 to this schedule.

The determination area comprises all of the land and waters bounded by the following description except the areas set out in Schedule 2:

Commencing at the point 125.317076' longitude east, 15,40758' -latitude south the boundary traverses north easterly and then easterly through the following geographic coordinates 125.336747' E 15.376739' S, 125.482148'E 15.148773' S, 125.48363' E 15.146669'S to 125.67902' E 15.146669' S where it meets Pastoral Lease 3114/1174.

From here the boundary traverses the westerly boundary of 3114/1174 to its intersection with pastoral lease 398/446 then follows the boundary of this lease in a counter clockwise direction to the south eastern corner of pastoral lease 398/844. From here the boundary traverses westerly initially coincidental with the southern boundary of 398/446 then through the following geographic coordinates 125.67902' E 15.984085'S, 125.5' E 15.984085' S, 125.225726' E, 15.984085' S. From here the boundary traverses southerly until it intersects with the boundary of pastoral lease 3114/723. From here the boundary traverses counter clockwise along the boundary of 3114/723 to a position on this boundary at 125.001169' E 15.90287' S. From here the boundary traverses north easterly to 125.015751' E 15.880007' S then to 125.433333' E 15.708333' S then northerly to 125.43' E 15.508333' S and then back to the commencement point.

Geographic coordinates are reference to Australian Geodetic Datum (AGD) 84 and where referenced to cadastral features are based on the spatial position of that reference data acquired from the various custodians at the time.

Commencing at the north eastern corner of Theda Pastoral Lease (3114/833) the application boundary traverses southerly, easterly and then in a southerly direction following the boundary of Carson River Pastoral Lease (3114/1056) until the southernmost part of the said lease.
