    (i)  from there southerly along that meridian to its intersection

by the northern coastline of Australia at mean low water; and

    (ii)  from there generally south-westerly, south-easterly and

northerly along that coastline at mean low water to its intersection

by the parallel of latitude 11 degrees 05' 06"; and

    (iii)  from there westerly along that parallel to its intersection

by the baseline constituting the inner limit of the territorial sea of

Australia off the western coastline of Cape York Peninsula; and

20' east; and

    (vi)  from there northerly along the meridian to its intersection

by the outer limit of the Australian fishing zone; and

    (vii)  from there generally south-westerly and north-westerly
