NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Temporary Lighthouse on Point Lonsdale, Port Phillip.

Fixed red and green.

Masters of vessels and others navigating the entrance of Port Phillip are hereby informed that in order to warn vessels of their approach to the recently discovered dangers (notice of which appeared in the Gazette of the 22nd December, 1862, No. 148) and the Point Lonsdale Rock, at the entrance to Port Phillip, a temporary fixed harbour light will, on and after the evening of the 19th instant, be exhibited from a site close to the tidal flagstaff on Point Lonsdale.

This light will be coloured green to seaward, and red towards the Harbour and Point Nepean.

Vessels inward or outward bound, when they have the green light full in view, will be outside of these dangers; and when they have the red light full in view, they will be inside of these dangers. The blending of the two colours when seen from a vessel will indicate that she is in the vicinity of these dangers.

The Point Lonsdale Light will only illuminate an arc of about fifty degrees of the horizon, and be visible, the green light at a distance of about four miles, the red light about seven miles, within the following bearings:—

Green light, from about N.W. ½ W. to N.W. by N.

Red light, from about W. ½ N. to N.W. ½ W.

The bearings are magnetic, and are given from the ship, not from the lights.
