Magnetic Information
All mapsheets are created using MGA (Map Grid of Australia) coordinates and are aligned to Grid North for the relevant zone.
- Zone 54 is longitude 138° to 144°
- and zone 55 is longitude 144° to 150°
To convert a bearing calculated from the map to a magnetic bearing (as shown on a compass) requires a correction for the magnetic declination.
Each map shows the value of Grid Convergence and Magnetic Declination calculated for the centre of the map.
