NEW CUTTING AND PROPOSED ALTERATION OF LIGHTS AT THE
BAR OF THE RIVER BRISBANE.
Towards the latter end of May, it is expected that the straight cutting across the Bar of the Brisbane River will be completed to a width of 200 feet. When this is effected, the channel will be shown by two Lighthouses, 1,433 yards apart, placed on the Fisherman Islands.
The Lighthouses in line will lead through the cutting, at a distance of 50 feet from the Eastern edge of the channel. Vessels going out will therefore keep the Lighthouses in line, while those entering must keep them open to the Westward when meeting another vessel in the cutting.
By night the lower, or northern leading light will be red.
The Lightship will at the same time be moored outside the Bar, and on the Eastern side of the cutting during the erection of the pile Lighthouse, and from her the tidal signals will be made as usual. She will lie in about 3 fathoms at low water, and all vessels entering the cutting are to pass to the Northward and Westward of her, and thus keep clear of the piles for the pile Lighthouse, which will be placed to the Southward of the Lightship.
