NOTICE is hereby given that, in consequence of the continued
growth westward of the East Bank, it is intended, about the
middle of January, to so alter the position of Tangaluma
Light as to give, with Cowan Cowan Light, a new line of
direction for the North or Howe Channel.

Also to so alter the position of the Yellow Patch Light
that when brought into line with the light at Cape Moreton
it will indicate the northernmost point at which the Tanga-

The old lighthouse at the Yellow Patch will for a time be
left in its present position.
