Thanks for picking up on this Tom, having checked with Anthony the south and middle waypoints are correct.

The hotel should be 04 31.406S 129 53.850E.

West should be 04 30.975S 129 53.533E.

He also says that in practice you will eyeball the places as you come in as they are very easy to spot.

Stern to the wall with two lines ashore
Advantages:-good shelter, in the town centre, easy to get water, rubbish disposal

West Anchorage 04 31.108s 129 53.885e
Stern to trees with lines ashore
Advantages:- Quiet, good for wind generator
Disadvantages:- Difficult to get the anchor in, lee shore, 0.75 miles to the dinghy dock

South Anchorage 04 32.641s 129 54.133e
