AR
Periodic dredging is undertaken by a THSD and cutter suction dredge.
However, depths in Reeves Channel and on Bar as well as the alignment of
the channel across the Bar are constantly changing and therefore charted
depth cannot be considered reliable. Crossing the Bar should only be
attempted by persons having local knowledge.
Mariners should contact Gippsland Ports Lakes Entrance (03) 5155 6999
for the latest information on the Bar. Further information on navigating the
ocean entrance and bar may be found at www.gippslandports.vic.gov.au

WAVE MONITORING BUOY

Mariners are advised that a wave monitoring buoy has been located at
approximate position:S 37° 54.9075’ E 147° 57.9379’ (WGS 84) 2.8km
SSW of the entrance.
A long elastic mooring system has been utilized to secure the buoy and
consequently the position of the buoy may vary with tide and currents.
The buoy is displaying the following light characteristic: Fl(5) Y 20s
Mariners are directed to navigate with caution when transiting the area,
and to remain at least 200m clear of the buoy. No vessel is to moor to the
buoy at any time.

IMPORTANT EXPLANATION and CAUTION
This publication is a guide only.
The maps are not navigation charts and should not be used for navigation calculations or determining precise locations.
The position of navigation marks, channels and other features may not be where they are shown on the maps.
Water depths are based on hydrographic surveys believed to have been undertaken around 1986 and the depths shown may have changed
since that time.
Gippsland Ports staff have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the information in the guide is accurate at the time of publication.
But omissions and inaccuracies may exist and therefore vessel operators must be cautious in relying on the information in the guide.
No liability whatsoever will be accepted by Gippsland Ports for damages claimed to be sustained as a consequence of using this guide.

Further information on navigating the entrance may be found at
www.gippslandports.vic.gov.au
Navigation of the ocean entrance to the Lakes system by operators of small boats
is dangerous and attention is drawn to the caution notices erected at various points
on shore at or near the entrance and at boat ramps in the locality. Drownings have
occurred when boats have capsized at the entrance bar.

The waters of Gippsland Lakes are safe and pleasant to navigate but there are areas
of shallow water which may not be identified by navigation aids. For this reason it is
advisable to carry a compass and obtain good local knowledge of the Lakes system.
Care should be taken at night time when on passage from Metung to Paynesville or
when navigating south of Raymond Island owing to the existence of shoals and
shallow water.
Lake Wellington is relatively shallow and winds from the east or west can create a
short choppy sea. Without a compass, a boat owner voyaging from Latrobe River
entrance to McLennans Strait and vice versa can become disorientated, particularly
in daytime, and fail to find the entrance/exit to Lake Wellington. However, there are
a number of single pile beacons marking the route across the lake.
At the eastern end of the Lakes System, in Reeves Channel and Cunningham Arm, a
boat operator can expect to find the waters shared with large seagoing fishing vessels
and a knowledge of the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea is very necessary
in this area.
The following is an extract of a port regulation governing the navigation of the
entrance to Gippsland Lakes and applies to all vessels less than 40 metres in length.
(The master of a vessel means the person in charge of it).
(a) The master of a vessel when departing Cunningham Arm shall keep out of the
way of every vessel navigating Reeves Channel.
(b) When two vessels in Reeves Channel are approaching each other in reciprocal or
near reciprocal courses at its junction with Cunningham Arm the master of the
vessel stemming the tide shall keep out of the way of the vessel proceeding with
the tide and nothing in this Rule shall exempt the master of either vessel from
complying with the requirements of Rule 34 of the Regulation of Preventing
Collisions at Sea.
(c) The master of a vessel when proceeding to sea and when navigating the waters of
the port between the seaward end of the entrance moles and the offshore bar shall
keep out of the way of any vessel inward bound into the port.
5 The master of a vessel navigating the waters of the port between the seaward end
(d)
of the entrance moles and the seaward (outer) edge of the offshore bar shall
maintain a distance of 100 metres astern of any other vessel proceeding in the
same direction as his vessel and shall not overtake any vessel proceeding in the
same direction as his vessel.
10 All vessels whether inward or outward bound should not attempt to pass any
(e)
dredge whilst dredging between the seaward end of the entrance moles and the
outer edge of the seaward bar or when engaged in swinging at the landward side
of the bar.

Look for changes in cloud formation, particularly in the western sky, as these often indicate a sudden
change of weather bringing strong winds. Strong wind gusts and squalls can cause distress and
danger to a boat and its occupants, particularly open boats. If caught in a dangerous sea keep your
boat’s bow pointing into the wind and sea and ride it out. Learn the advantages of using a sea anchor.

Special care should be taken when boating in windy weather. Do not be fooled by winds which may
appear light when you are on shore, they may be much stronger on the water. Keep informed of
weather conditions. Refer to www.bom.gov.au before leaving home. Carry a portable radio to obtain
current weather forecasts.

A boat operator entering the lakes from seaward and retaining an inward direction to his destination
would keep all green starboard-hand marks on his starboard side and red port-hand marks on his port
