Hi there,

The maps produced by the NSW Department of Lands (now NSW Land and Property 
Information) calls them a breakwater in their map key. I've also seen the 
breakwater term used on warning sings and the like which are posted near said 
man-made rocky protrusions.

So, unless a different govt dept calls them something else that's probably the 
most official name for them in an Australian context.

 What I do have a problem with is a rock or concrete wall that is 
 built to control the flow of water as 
 in river mouths and enclosing harbours. Some call them 
 Breakwalls, some call them Training 
 Walls, some call them Breakwaters, some call them Retaining 
 Walls and so forth.
 What do we call them ???  Nearly every river and harbour on 
 the north coast of NSW have them
 
 Regards
