NORTH SOLITARY ISLAND

North Solitary Island (29°56'S., 153°24'E.) is an islet lying about 6.5 miles offshore and about 8 miles NNE of North West Solitary Island. It consists of two above water rocks with a narrow opening between. A number of detached rocks, some on which the sea breaks, lie N of the islet. North West Rock lies in the middle of a bank with depths of less than 5.5m, 0.7 mile NNW of the islet. A below water rock was reported to lie 1 mile N of North West Rock. A light is shown from the NE side of the islet. The Wooli River (Wooli Wooli River) (29°53'S., 153°16'E.), which is only navigable by boats, lies about 1.5 miles N of Tree Point. A dangerous submerged rock lies about 0.1 mile NE of the S entrance point of the river. The entrance of the river is protected by two breakwaters, which are lighted. A conspicuous tank stands about 1 mile NW of the breakwaters.
