From information from both the National Tidal Centre and Geoscience Australia it appears that the datum reference for Broome has been changed from Tide Gauge Zero (TGZ) to Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT). Lat is 0.86m below TGZ and 5.322 below the national datum AHD. To accommodate the change the RLR factor has been revised from 2.4m to 1.54m.

Documentation added 2019-01-23
