History of Cartier Island Versi Australia
The Territory
of Pulau Pasir (Ashmore) and Cartier Islands comprises the West, Middle and
East Islands of Pulau Pasir (Ashmore Reef), Cartier Island and the 12 nautical
mile territorial sea generated by those islands. These areas are indicated on
the lower map by the two enclosing boundary lines. The islands are uninhabited,
small, low and composed of coral and sand, with some grass cover.
The Territory
is located on the outer edge of the continental shelf in the Indian Ocean
approximately 320 km off Australia's north-west coast and 170 kilometers south
of the Island of Roti, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia (123°33' East, 12°31' South). The Jabiru and
Challis oil fields are adjacent to the Territory.
The proximity
of the Territory to Indonesia has been the subject of joint official
discussions in recent years. In 1997, a Treaty aimed at settling a number of
maritime boundaries between the two countries was signed.
Ashmore Reef
(Pulau Pasir) is located in the Timor Sea about 840 kilometres west of Darwin
and 610 kilometres north of Broome. It is part of the Australian External
Territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands and comprises a shelf-edge reef system
of approximately 583 square kilometres, rising from the westward limit of the
Sahul Shelf. Three small islands and a number of shifting sand cays lie within
the reef rim. The combined area of the islands is 112 hectares, the largest
being about one kilometre long.
