Notice is hereby given that two leading-beacons have been erected to mark the new cutting through Rocky Point Bar, Fitzroy River, also a square beacon to mark the “turn off” from that lead, and on and after Wednesday, the 24th instant, lights will be exhibited from these marks for night navigation.
