NOTICE TO MARINERS.
No. 30 of 1879.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 27th June, 1879.

THE following Notice to Mariners, received from
the Commissioner of Trade and Customs at
Melbourne, is published for general information.
G. GREY.

AUSTRALIA—SOUTH COAST VICTORIA.

THE following sailing directions for Port Campbell
are taken from the remarks of Mr. J. W. T. Nor-
gate, Marine Surveyor.

CHARLES B. PAYNE,
Chief Harbourmaster.

Department of Ports and Harbours,
Melbourne, 28th May, 1879.

PORT CAMPBELL, in lat. 38° 37' S., long. 143°
E., lies about midway between Cape Otway and
Warrnambool, and its proximity is easily ascertained
by Hesse Point to the westward, distance 2 miles,
and a remarkable island 2 cables off shore, distance
1½ miles to the eastward, about 200 feet high, and
perpendicular.

Upon approaching Port Campbell from either side
the sea will appear to break right across the entrance,
but, when the sandy beach becomes well open, a
passage will be seen between the breaks, and can with
confidence be taken in moderate weather on the fair-
way marks laid down on chart.

The eastern break is very defined, as it is one con-
tinuous break from its outer extreme to the shore,
with bold water immediately clear of break on its
west side.

Fairway Marks.—The left extreme of East Head
(33 feet high) in line with beacon on hummocks
N.E. 1/4 N. leads between the East and West Breaks,
until the two poles on Napier Bluff are in line N.
by E. 1/2 E., which line keep until the beacon on
hummocks shows a little to the westward of mooring
buoy, then steer straight for moorings.

Moorings.—There are moorings laid at Port Camp-
bell, viz.: Two 15-cwt. one-fluked anchors, with
15 fathoms of 1 1/4-inch stud chain on each anchor,
shackled together to a ring-through which is rove
15 fathoms of 3/4-inch chain to the mooring buoy.
Vessels making use of these moorings must have a
spring out astern to the beach, as there is a reef of
6 feet to the southward, which will not allow of vessels
swinging. This reef is a great protection to the
anchorage, as the sea mostly breaks upon it, making
the anchorage comparatively smooth.

Tides are influenced greatly by the winds. The
set of the tide is principally south-easterly, or outward
across the east break. Mean rise and fall 4 feet.

Jetty.—The proposed site for jetty is on the east
side of the bay, and there will be from 12 to 14 feet
of water at its outer end at low-water spring tides.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
No. 31 of 1879.

Marine Department,
Wellington, 27th June, 1879.

THE following Notice to Mariners, received from
the Portmaster at Brisbane, is published for
general information.
G. GREY.

LEADING LIGHTS, FITZROY RIVER.

ON and after this date four fixed white and two fixed
red lights will be exhibited from the South Shore of
the Fitzroy River, giving leading lines through four

reaches of the channel, viz.: The reach below, the
two reaches above, and that known as Brown's
Crossing. A red light is in every case the nearer of
the two leading lights, while each red light answers
for two contiguous reaches of the channel.

On going up the river the first pair of lights lead-
ing to No. 10 mark will be seen when nearing No. 9
crossing mark, above Central Island. Carrying these
lights in line towards No. 10 mark, and passing on to
No. 11, another white light will be brought into line
with the same red light as that used in the previous
reach, leading clear of the black buoy at Brown's
Crossing. When approaching Brown's Island the
next red and white lights will become visible, and will
show the crossing to No. 14 mark; and when suffi-
ciently far up the river the second red light, in line
with the fourth white light, will lead up to No. 16
crossing mark.
