(Section 16 (1))
The area the boundary of which commences at a point that is the intersection of the coastline at mean low water by the geodesic between the trigonometrical station known as Point Danger near Point Danger and point of Latitude 27° 58′ South, Longitude 154° East and runs thence north-easterly along that geodesic to the last-mentioned point, thence north-easterly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 27° 48′ South, Longitude 154° 22′ East, thence easterly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 26° 59′ 05″ South, Longitude 165° 40′ East, thence southerly along the meridian of Longitude 165° 40′ East to its intersection by the parallel of Latitude 34° 03′ 30″ South, thence south-westerly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 34° 16′ South, Longitude 165° 16′ East, thence south-westerly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 37° 21′ 30″ South, Longitude 164° 23′ East, thence south-westerly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 37° 32′ South, Longitude 164° 11′ East, thence south-westerly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 37° 59′ South, Longitude 163° 47′ East, thence south-westerly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 38° 58′ South, Longitude 161° 15′ 30″ East, thence south-westerly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 39° 12′ South, Longitude 160° East, thence south-westerly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 40° 40′ South, Longitude 158° 53′ East, thence north-westerly along the geodesic to a point of Latitude 37° 35′ South, Longitude 150° 10′ East, thence north-westerly along the geodesic to the intersection of the coastline at mean low water by the boundary between the States of New South Wales and Victoria, thence generally northerly along the coastline of Australia at mean low water to the point of commencement.
