AUS 252 — Whitsunday Group, QLD Nautical Chart

For skippers, bareboat crews, and island-hopping cruisers

Bring the Whitsundays into crisp, working focus. AUS 252 covers the island group and approaches at 1:75,000 on Mercator projection, with a detailed Laguna Quays inset at 1:12,500—perfect for plotting channels, reef clearances, and anchorages from Hook to Hamilton and beyond.

Why skippers choose this chart

🧭 Passage-ready clarity — 1:75,000 balances broad bay context with practical island detail.
🪨 Reef & shoal awareness — Navigate bommies, fringing reefs, and sand banks with confidence.
🗺️ Clean plotting — Mercator main sheet; UTM inset for precise bearings and GPS cross-checks.
✍️ Write-on surface (laminate option) — Soft-matte face takes chart-correction/grease pencils cleanly.
🇦🇺 Printed in Australia — Colour-managed, hand-checked.

Premium materials & finishes

Paper (120 gsm matte) — Crisp, flexible and chart-table friendly; ideal under nav-station glass.
Laminated (soft-matte front / gloss back, edge-sealed) — Low-glare, writeable face for notes and corrections; gloss back adds rigidity and wipes clean.

Skipper’s note: The soft-matte writeable face is specified so you can mark fixes, tide windows and lee-shore plans, then clean down between passages.

On-board & ashore use

🧭 Passage planning — Shape routes, tidal gates and landfall bearings between islands.
⚓ Anchorage selection — Cue holding options and shelter from the trades.
📒 Crew briefings — At-a-glance layout for roles, calls and nav references.
🛠️ Club/charter office display — Durable laminated option for training rooms and briefings.
