Coral Reef in Track of Vessels from Roebuck Bay
or Derby to Wyndham and Port Darwin.
(Hydrographic Notice No. 5.)
"Orlando," at Melbourne, 19th June, 1891.
JAMIESON REEF.—Owing to information given by Captain
R. Jamieson, of the Adelaide Steamship Company's vessel
"Otway," a coral reef has been found by H.M.S. "Penguin"
in the track of vessels bound from Roebuck Bay or Derby to
Wyndham and Port Darwin.
This reef is two and a quarter miles long north and south,
and one mile broad east and west. It is mostly covered at
all times of tide with from 12ft. to 24ft. water, but there is
one small part three-quarters of a mile from the north end
of the reef which dries 5ft. at low-water spring-tide. This
spot is in lat. 14° 4' 32" S., long. 125° 21' 11" E. From it
the centre of the flat-topped summit of Condillac bears S.
78° E., distant twelve miles and two-tenths.
The water in this locality is much discoloured at all times,
and there is nothing in the appearance of the sea over the
reef to indicate danger, except at nearly low-water, when the
shallowest part breaks. The lead gives no warning.
Charts affected: No. 1047, vii., 90, Cape Ford to Buccaneer
Archipelago.

Rear-Admiral, Commander-in-Chief.
