Selected transformation

Name: AGD66 to WGS 84 (18)

Method: Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Parameter values from AGD66 to GDA94 (12) (code 15979). Assumes WGS 84 is equivalent to GDA94; ignores low accuracy of ensemble and tectonic plate motion. Use only offshore: onshore CTs 1665-68 for ACT, NSW/Vic, Tas and NT respectively are more accurate.
