Notice to Mariners.

Walaroo and Tipara Bays, South Australia.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 10th April, 1865.

THE following Notice to Mariners, issued by the
Government of South Australia, is published for
general information.
FRED. A. WELD.

All bearings are magnetic, variation 4° 30' E.
NOTICE is hereby given, that, on and after the (1st)
first day of April next (1865), the floating beacon
now moored on the Tipara Reef will be replaced by
a temporary light-ship, which will be moored close
under the rocky patch near the southern extremity
of the Tipara Reef, with the following bearings :-
Elizabeth Point, S.E. S.; Long Point, N.E. by E.
The light-ship has two masts, is painted red, and
exhibits during the day a red ball at the mainmast
head.

Lights. - From sunset to sunrise will be exhibited
the following lights: -A white light from the main-
mast (24) twenty-four feet above the sea-level, visible
from all points of the compass at a distance of (7)
seven miles in clear weather. A red light from the
foremast (12) twelve feet above the sea-level, visible
from N. to S., round by W., at a distance of (3) three
miles, in clear weather.

Vessels making the Light from the N.N.W. should
not stand towards the northern extremity of the
reef, whilst the red light is visible, by observing the
direction a ship will be well clear of the reef.

Should the weather be hazy, and the red or less
intense light be obscured, no vessel should approach
the reef with the white light bearing S.S.E., under
(7) seven fathoms.

The following description of the Tipara, and sail-
ing directions for Wallaroo or Tipara Bays, are pub-
lished for the guidance of Mariners.

The Tipara Reef is an extensive shoal, the southern
extremity being four and a-half (44) miles N.W.
from Elizabeth Point.

The reef consists principally of sand, but there is
a rocky patch of small extent near the southern ex-
tremity which dries at low water; it is under the
shelter of this patch where the light-ship, referred to
above, will be moored.

From the rocky patch, the reef extends in a north-
erly direction, about (2) miles, the outer edge trend-
ing to the N.N.W.; whilst the S.E. part takes a
N.E. E. direction; the extreme breadth from east
to west nearly two (2) miles.

The sounding on the reef vary:-in some places
there being a fathom and a-half (14), whilst in others,
particularly to the N.N.E. part of the shoal-there
are only two (2) or three (3) feet. From the
northern extremity of the reef, the buoy off Long
Point, referred to in this notice, bears N.E. by E. E.

Vessels rounding the south part of the reef should
not bring Elizabeth Point to bear to the southward
of S.E. by E. E.; whilst those intending to pass
to the northward of the danger, into or out of Tipara
Bay, should not bring the buoy off Long Point to
bear to the eastward of E. by N. N.

A red nun buoy has also been placed off Long
Point in three (3) fathoms, with the following bear-
ings:-Elizabeth Point, S. E.; Long Point, E. by
Ν. Ν.

To pass outside or to the westward of the Tipara
Reef, do not approach the light-ship from the west-
ward, under six (6) fathoms, or come within a mile
of the same; from this position, when to the west-
ward of the reef, steer a N.N.W. course, in which
the same soundings will be maintained.

When the buoy off Long Point bears east, a course
of N.E. may be shaped, taking care as the Long Point
Buoy is brought to bear S. E., not to come under
four and a-half (44) fathoms.

When Long Point bears south, a course of E. by
N. may be shaped, when the Pilot and Harbour
Master will come off, and conduct the vessel to the
anchorage or jetty.

At night no vessel in the vicinity of Tipara Reef
should come under (7) seven fathoms, or attempt to
enter the Bay until the lights from the Smelting
