NOTICE TO MARINERS.
FIXED RED LIGHT AT WOLLONGONG.
On the 1st of March next, the temporary Light at

181
Wollongong will be substituted by a Fixed Red
Light, situated on the extremity of the Breakwater,
at an elevation of 56 feet above high watermark.
This Light will be visible from a ship's deck at a
distance of ten miles when the entrance to the port
is opened between the compass bearings of S.S.W.
and W. by N.N., but will be eclipsed over the
Bellambi Reef, and also over the lowland between
Five Islands Point and Wollongong Head.
The entrance can therefore be approached if the
Light is in sight. When the Port is neared and a
vessel is rounding the Breakwater it will be lost
sight of, and afterwards come into view as a guide
for proceeding into the Basin.
