BRISBANE RIVER. — NEW LEADING LIGHTS AND BEACONS, BULIMBA CUTTING, AND DIRECTIONS FROM THE HAMILTON TO TOWN REACH.

Notice is hereby given that a pair of white triangular leading beacons, from which a red and a white light is exhibited at night, now mark the centre of the dredged cutting at the lower end of Bulimba Reach. These beacons are situated on Norris Point, just above the Sugar-works, and are to be brought in line ahead bearing S. 19½ E. as soon as Bulimba Point is rounded, and kept in line till Bulimba Ferry is passed.

Directions for ascending the river from the Hamilton will, therefore, read as follows:—

A mid-channel course may now be steered until Bulimba Point is rounded, when a pair of white leading beacons (lighted by night), situated on the point above the Sugar-works, must be brought in line and kept so until past Bulimba Ferry. A mid-channel course may then be steered (passing the black buoy on the Hawthorn Rock on the port hand) until Humbug Point is rounded, when the south shore must be kept close aboard until nearing Norman Creek. Above this a mid-channel course is clear. A red light obscured over the black buoy on the Hawthorn Rock is exhibited from a beacon in the bight opposite Norris Point, and a red light is also exhibited from a beacon at the extremity of Kangaroo Point.

Chart affected: No. 1674; Australia Directory, vol. xi.
