REFERRING to General Notice to Mariners, Victoria, dated 24th September, 1901, pages 59 and 61, and subsequent notice dated 12th August, 1904, mariners are hereby notified that, consequent upon the improvements effected by blasting operations at the Heads, the least depth abreast of Point Lonsdale along the line of leading-lights, and for about 2,000 ft. eastward therefrom, is now 37 ft. at ordinary low water.

The least water for 250 ft. to the westward of the line of leading-lights is now also 37 ft. at ordinary low water.

The line of the obelisk and high light bearing N. 30½° E. now marks, approximately, the middle of deep-water channel.

To insure keeping within the limits of the deep-water channel, mariners are directed, when crossing the Rip bank, not to keep eastward of the line of the obelisk showing midway between the high light and look-out house, bearing N. 28½° E., when entering Port Phillip Heads, and not westward of the line of leading-lights when clearing the Heads.

The look-out house is situated about 60 ft. N.W. by W. from the high lighthouse.
