Islands

Queensland Coast & Torres Strait Pilot Service, 1966-67. This map evokes the confusion of islands and shoals that face mariners along the Queensland coast. The markings show the intensity of survey work and the skill and commitment required to safely navigate these island infested waters. Ephemera, Collection of John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland
