BAR OF THE BRISBANE RIVER.—NEW BUOY.

Notice is hereby given that a red conical buoy carrying a
triangular top-mark has been placed on the outer edge of
the bar of the Brisbane River, in a depth of 21ft. at low-
water springs.

The buoy lies one mile distant from the Pile Light, and
180ft. to the westward of the line of the bar leading lights.

Vessels approaching the bar should steer for the buoy,
and when near-to must haul up to bring the leading lights
in line, passing the buoy on the starboard hand at a distance
of 180ft.

The buoy lies with the following compass bearings, which
may assist vessels in determining compass errors: Mount
Tempest, N. 43° E.; Mount Gravatt (a high summit fifteen
miles distant, with tall trees partially cleared), S. 10° W.
