BURNETT RIVER BAR.

CONSIDERABLE changes having taken place in the
formation of the bar at the mouth of the Burnett
River during the recent heavy weather, vessels in-
tending to enter the port should now steer W.S.W.
for the Flagstaff at the Pilot Station, and pick up the
black and red buoys, which lie in 5 feet at low water,
and point out the channel across the bar. After
passing these buoys, vessels should steer W. 3/4 S.,
keeping the two leading beacons in a line, and pass
on the port hand a second black buoy, placed in
7 feet low water, off the inner rocky point of the
South Head, and on the starboard hand a red beacon
placed on the edge of a sandbank, which covers at a
quarter flood. From thence vessels may proceed up
the river as formerly.

By following these directions, the bar will be
crossed in not less than 5 feet 6 inches at low water.
