The Coral SeaIslands Territory includes a group of small tropical islands and reefs in the Coral Sea, northeast of Queensland, Australia, around 18° S 152° E.
The territory was created in 1969 by the Coral SeaIslands Act (before, the area was considered part of Queensland) and extended in 1997 to include Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs nearly 800 km further South, already in the Tasman Sea.
The islands, cays and reefs of the Great Barrier Reef are not part of the territory, belonging to Queensland instead.
