Spencer Gulf.—Franklin Harbour.

MASTERS of vessels and others are hereby informed that the channel which has been dredged to the new jetty at Franklin Harbour runs in the line of the jetty 319½° (N. 45° W. mag.) for a distance of 1·3 miles, and has not less than 12 ft. at L.W.S. over a full width of 100 ft. It is marked by three (3) black buoys, to be kept on the port hand entering; and one (1) red buoy and one (1) black and red chequered buoy on the starboard hand. The chequered buoy marks the point where the new channel deviates from the old, and is to be kept on the port hand entering when using the latter. The inner black buoy which also marks the south-eastern extreme of the swinging basin is so moored and fitted that it may be used as a haul-off buoy for vessels at the jetty.

Approximate position of end of jetty: Latitude 33° 41½’ S., longitude 136° 56½’ E.

This affects Admiralty Charts Nos. 785 and 2389B.
