SOUTH ENTRANCE TO MORETON BAY.
NOTICE is hereby given that the channel across the bar at
the south entrance to Moreton Bay has shifted slightly to
the eastward since the last notice was published in Septem-

kept open to the westward of the foot of the rise of the high
land, three quarters of the distance between that position
and the high tree to the westward.

The outer edge of the bar being taken with these marks
on, a straight course may be steered S.S.W. W. for the
centre of the opening between Amity Point and the south
end of Moreton Island, which will lead up to the first black
buoy.

The depth on the bar at low water is about 11ft.

NOTICE is hereby given that two floating staff beacons, with
square cages painted black, have been placed on the north-
east side of the channel between Middle Reef and the reef
off Magnetic Island.

The floating beacons lie in 14ft. at low water, and are
moored 3.9 and 8.5 cables respectively W.N.W. from the red
buoy at the east end of the channel.

Directions: In entering the channel from the eastward

floating beacons on the starboard hand, at a distance of from
50ft. to 150ft. When abreast the western beacon, steer for
