NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Light at Cape Bowling-Green.
In consequence of great changes having taken place in the formation of the outlying banks off Cape Bowling-Green, which have allowed the sea to make serious inroads upon the shore, it may probably be necessary to remove the present Lighthouse.
Masters of vessels are therefore cautioned that the present revolving light may probably be replaced shortly by a temporary fixed light until some more permanent arrangement can be made. The temporary light will be visible from a distance of 9 or 10 miles.
Department of Ports and Harbors, Brisbane, 7th October, 1875.
G. P. HEATH, Commander R.N.,
Portmaster.
