Note

     1. Coordinates expressed in terms of the Geodetic Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94) have been transformed from the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 (AGD66) using the National 3 dimensional similarity transformation[2].

    AGD66 to GDA94 parameters:

              dx: -117.808 m
              dy:   -51.536 m
              dz:   137.784 m
              k:      -0.29 ppm
              rx:      -0.303 Arc Seconds
              ry:      -0.446 Arc Seconds
              rz:      -0.234 Arc Seconds

    2.      For the purposes of plotting the points defining this Fishery in a geographic information system (GIS), an interpretation of where the specific parallel or meridian crosses the coastline is based on the visible coastline from an orthorectified satellite image.

    3.      For all practical purposes, coordinates expressed in terms of GDA94 are deemed equivalent to coordinates expressed in terms of WGS84.
