reference to a spheroid having its centre at the centre of the Earth and a major (equatorial) radius of 6,378,160 metres and a flattening of 1/298.25 and the position of the Johnston Geodetic Station in the Northern Territory of Australia.  That station is to be taken to be situated at Latitude 25°56'54.5515" South and at Longitude 133°12'30.0771" East and to have a ground level of 571.2 metres above the spheroid referred to above.

    (2) For convenience, the coordinates of the fishery and areas excluded from the fishery are also expressed in Schedule 2 based on the World Geodetic Datum 1984 (WGS84) Reference Frame at the 2005.0 epoch. The geographic coordinates are referenced to the WGS84 reference spheroid having its centre at the centre of the Earth and a major (equatorial) radius of 6,378,137 metres and a flattening of 1/298.257223563.

    (3) In the case of an inconsistency between the coordinates in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2, Schedule 1 takes precedence – see section1.4.

PART 1 - DESCRIPTION OF AREA OF THE FISHERY

   The area consisting of:
   (a) the area of waters in the Protected Zone to the south of the Fisheries Jurisdiction Line; and
   (b) the area of waters (excluding any waters within the limits of Queensland) bounded by a line-
       (1) commencing at the point of intersection of the parallel of Latitude 10°28'00" South and the meridian of Longitude 142°09'00" East;
       (2) running then east along the parallel of Latitude 10°28'00" South to its intersection by the meridian of Longitude 144° East;
       (3) then south along that meridian to its intersection by the parallel of Latitude 10°41'17" South;
       (4) then west along that parallel to its intersection by the meridian of Longitude 142°31'49" East;
       (5) then south along that meridian to its northernmost intersection by the coastline of Cape York Peninsula at low water;
       (6) then generally south-westerly along the western coastline of Cape York Peninsula, that is along the low water line on that coast and across any river mouth, to its intersection by the meridian of Longitude 142°09'00" East;
       (7) then north along that meridian to the point of commencement; and
(c) the territorial sea of Australia north of the Fisheries Jurisdiction Line.

PART 2 - DESCRIPTION OF AREAS EXCLUDED FROM THE FISHERY

WEST OF WARRIOR REEF EXCLUSION ZONE
The areas bounded by a line --

    (1) commencing at the point of Latitude 9°46'00" South, Longitude 142°00'00" East;
    (2) running thence north-easterly along the geodesic to the point of Latitude 9°45'24" South, Longitude 142°03'30" East;
    (3) thence north along the meridian of Longitude 142°03'30" East to its intersection by the parallel of Latitude 9°15'43" South;
    (4) thence north-easterly along the geodesic to the point of Latitude 9°12'50" South,
