NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Tipara Reef, Spencer's Gulf.

A black and red checkered buoy has been placed
outside a rocky patch, having only twelve and a half
(12\frac{1}{2}) feet on it at low water spring tides. The
buoy lies in four (4) fathoms at low water, and on
the following bearings:—Smelting Works chimney,
Wallaroo, N.E.E.; Tipara Light Vessel, S.E. by
E.E.

Masters of vessels are cautioned to pay attention
to the sailing directions, and not to approach the
reef under seven (7) fathoms, as the nature of the
ground in the neighbourhood of the reef, and for
some considerable distance around, is very uneven.
