Survey Of Northern Harbours
Brisbane, March 21, – A Harbours and Marine Department survey vessel will undertake a survey of two northern sugar ports within three weeks.
The surveys are of the important ports of Mourilyan Harbour and Lucinda Point. The Department’s chief engineer, Mr. E. C. Fison, said tonight that the latest sounding equipment would be used. The Mourilyan work would be the first complete survey since 1877.
The survey launch Ferret would carry the echo sounding equipment. Mr. Fison said preliminary work would be carried out by a shore party. The Ferret would later go to Lucinda Point to establish whether there is a suitable ship channel in to the harbour, which would make a shorter route than the present channel.
