N. East 
Coast, 
extends for three-quarters of a mile from its north-east end ; 
the island is not more than three-quarters of a mile long, 
and about a quarter of a mile broad ; it is dangerous to 
approach at night, from being very low. It is situated 
thirty miles N. 53° W. (mag.) from the extremity of Break- 
sea Spit (as laid down in Captain Flinders's chart) ; its lati- 
tude is 24° 6', and its longitude 152° 45' 15". 
BUNKER’S GROUP consists of three islets ; they are 
low and wooded like Lady Elliot’s Island, and lie S.E. and 
N.W. from each other; the south-easternmost (or 1st,) has 
a coral reef projecting for two miles and a half to the N.E. : 
four miles and a half to the N.W. of the north Avesternmost 
(or 3d islet,) is a large shoal, which, from the heavy breakers 
upon it, is probably a part of the barrier or outer reefs. 
The centre island (or 2d) of the group, is in latitude 23° 51' 
10", and longitude 152° 19' 5". Off the south-west end of 
the 2d island, is a small detached islet connected to it by a 
reef; and off the north-east end of the 3d island, is another 
islet, also connected by a coral reef. 
The spaces between these islands, which are more than a 
league wide, are quite free from danger : we passed within a 
quarter of a mile of the south end of the reef off the 3d 
island, without getting bottom with ten fathoms. 
RODD’S BAY, a small harbour on the west side of the 
point to the northward of Bustard Bay, offers a good shelter 
for vessels of one hundred and fifty tons burden. The 
channel lies between two sand-banks, which communicate 
with either shore. In hauling round the point, steer for 
Middle Head, a projecting rocky point covered with trees, 
keeping the centre of it in the bearing of about South 
(mag.) ; you will then carry first five, then six and seven
