Charting of Australia

Charting of Australia refers to the process of mapping and documenting the coastline, waterways, and interior features of the continent. It involves navigation and surveying techniques to create accurate charts used for maritime travel, shipping, and exploration. Historically, explorers and navigators charted Australia's rugged coastlines to improve navigation safety. Over time, these charts have been refined with advancements in technology, such as GPS and satellite imaging, providing detailed and reliable maps for government authorities, sailors, and researchers. Overall, charting ensures safe navigation, supports maritime activity, and enhances understanding of Australia’s diverse geography.
