(i) then south‑easterly along the geodesic to the point of Latitude 16° 00x South, Longitude 156° 06x East; and
(ii) then south along the meridian of Longitude 156° 06x East to its intersection by the parallel of Latitude 24° 00x South; and
(iii) then west along that parallel to its intersection by the meridian of Longitude 154° 00x East; and
(iv) then north along that meridian to its intersection by the parallel of Latitude 22° 00x South; and
(v) then west along that parallel to its intersection by the line following the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef; and
(vi) then generally north‑westerly along that line to the point of commencement; and
(b) the area the boundary of which commences at the point of Latitude 29° 21x South, Longitude 158° 59x East and runs:
(i) then east along the parallel of Latitude 29° 21x South to its intersection by the meridian of Longitude 159° 14x East; and
