sch.2-sec.6-oc.2 Hinchinbrook Segment
Tidal waters and tidal land within the following boundary— from where the mainland at high water intersects longitude 146º19.055' east The intersection is near the mouth of the Herbert River. then generally northerly along the mainland at high water to where it intersects latitude 18º16.620' south then east along latitude 18º16.620' south to the coastal 20m line around the mainland the generally north-westerly along the coastal 20m line around the mainland to where it intersects the latitude that passes through the most western point of Hinchinbrook Island at low water The intersection is near Hecate Point. then west along the latitude that passes through the most western point of Hinchinbrook Island at low water to where it intersects the mainland at high water then generally northerly along the coastal line along the mainland to where it intersects latitude 18º05.136' east then north-easterly along a geodesic to where the mainland at high water intersects latitude 18º05.022' south The geodesic crosses the mouth of the Murray River from its southern side, at approximately longitude 146º01.578' east, to its northern side, at approximately longitude 146º01.740' east. then generally northerly along the coastal line along the mainland to where it intersects longitude 146º03.102' east then easterly along a geodesic to where the mainland at high water intersects longitude 146º03.228' east The geodesic crosses the mouth of the Tully River from its western side, at approximately latitude 18º01.818' south, to its eastern side, at approximately latitude 18º01.836' south. then generally northerly along the coastal line along the mainland to where it intersects latitude 17º59.586' south then north-easterly along a geodesic to where the mainland at high water intersects latitude 17º59.430' south The geodesic crosses the mouth of Hull Heads from its southern side, at approximately longitude 146º04.470' east, to its northern side, at approximately longitude 146º04.542' east. then generally northerly along the coastal line along the mainland to where it intersects latitude 17º52.808' south then east along latitude 17º52.808' south to where it intersects the coastal 5km line around the mainland then generally southerly along the coastal 5km line around the mainland to where it intersects the geodesic that passes through the following points— the most western point of Hinchinbrook Island at low water The most western point of Hinchinbrook Island at low water is near Hecate Point. where latitude 18º09.408' south intersects the coastal 500m line around Goold Island near Hayman Point then north-easterly along that geodesic to where latitude 18º09.408' south intersects the coastal 500m line around Goold Island near Hayman Point then generally north-easterly and easterly along the coastal 500m line around Goold Island to its most northern point then easterly along a geodesic to the most western point of the coastal 500m line around North Island then easterly along the coastal 500m line around North Island to where it intersects the coastal 500m line around Tween Island then southerly along the coastal 500m line around Tween Island to where it intersects the coastal 500m line around Middle Island then southerly along the coastal 500m line around Middle Island to where it intersects the coastal 500m line around South Island then southerly along the coastal 500m line around South Island to its most southern point then southerly along a geodesic to the most northern point of the coastal 500m line around Eva Island then generally south-easterly, southerly and south-westerly along the coastal 500m line around Eva Island to its most southern point then southerly along a geodesic to the most eastern point where Hinchinbrook Island at low water intersects latitude 18º25.108' south The most eastern point where Hinchinbrook Island at low water intersects latitude 18º25.108' south is near Hillcock Point. then east along latitude 18º25.108' south to where it intersects the coastal 5km line around the mainland then generally southerly along the coastal 5km line around the mainland to where it intersects latitude 18º29.908' south then south-westerly along a geodesic to where the mainland at low water intersects longitude 146º19.055' east The intersection is near the Herbert River. then south along longitude 146º19.055' east to where it intersects the mainland at high water.
