WEST COAST.
VENUS BAY.
MASTERS of Vessels and others are informed that a pair of leading beacons, 500ft. apart, painted white and having triangular tops, have been erected on the north side of the entrance to Venus Bay. These kept in line N. 23° E. lead over the deepest water on the outer bar. Also that a beacon, painted red, having a triangular top, has been placed on the south side of the channel just above No. 1 Red Beacon. This beacon in line with No. 1 Black Beacon N. 67° E. leads over the deepest water on the inner bar and midway between the two points forming the entrance.
Vessels entering the Bay should steer for the outer white leads until the inner black and red leads come in line; then steer for them until well over the bar, from whence the black beacon is to be kept on the port hand, as usual.
Approximate position of front white beacon, lat. 33′ 13! S. : long. 134° 394′ E.
BEARD BAY.
A Red Perch Buoy has been placed in three and a half fathoms L.W.S. inside the rocky bar at the entrance to Beard Bay. This buoy kept in line with Calea Bluff N. 7° W. leads over the deepest and generally smoothest water on the bar, giving a depth not less than 10ft, at L.W.S. Also that a beacon, painted black, having a triangular top, has been erected on the top of the sandhill on the west side of the entrance. In line with the perpendicular cliff of Cape Radstock S. 42° W. it leads clear of the N.W. edge of Propeller Rock, which is situated about half a cable N. by W. from the buoy, and has on it about 6ft, at L.W.S.
Vessels intended for entering should steer for the buoy in line with Calca Bluff, and when inside the bar keep the buoy on the starboard hand and steer N.N.W. until the beacon comes on with the cliff of Cape Radstock, after which clear anchorage with at least 21 fathoms will be found from N.N.W. to N.E. for 3 cables, beyond which the bay gradually shoals to about 3ft. at L.W.S. 13 miles from the entrance.
Approximate position of buoy, lat. 33° 11 S.; long. 134° 21′ E.; all bearings
magnetic.
These affect Admiralty charts Nos. 1061 and 1066.
