Orientation Table - Woody Point, Queensland, Australia - Orientation Tables on Waymarking.com

The Orientation Plate is sited at the top level of a concrete slab topped brown brick thick 'wall'; but because there is a shallow dish at one end it looks like it would have been used for fish cleaning.

This might be the hardest Orientation Plate that I have transcribed (any errors are mine, and willing to correct). The locations are engraved into the metal (?bronze?) plate, but there is a lot of scouring, so it is VERY hard to read!! Going 'from the top':
