The Cochrane Artificial Reef can be
accessed from either the Burnett River or the Elliott River. The trip from the
Burnett takes a little longer, but because the Elliott has shallow water at low
tide and a bar which can be tricky at times, the Burnett is sometimes a better
option. Most of the smaller placements by the Artificial Reef Association are
done from the Elliott River, because of the shorter trip out to the site. Larger
objects such as the Lightships are usually towed into place from Burnett Heads.

REEF GRID
MAP:

This is the Cochrane Artificial Reef Grid Map. This
is the older version and shows the position of all placements as of the 21st September 2006. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 5 or later to view the file. If you do not have this already, you can download it for free here |
The map shows the position of objects that have been placed,
gives the GPS readings of each object, and shows the depth of
water above each object at minimum low water. The positions
given are on the Australian Geodetic Datum of 1984 (AGD 84) and
position format is in Degrees, Minutes and Decimal Seconds.
Entering the positions in a GPS unit not set to this Datum and
position format will result in a positional error of up to 200
metres.
