The Orontes Beacon (34º 45.385'S. 138º 0.477'E) is located about 22 nautical miles (41km) from Adelaide in the Gulf of St Vincent. When sailing to Port Vincent, one needs to round this beacon to avoid the shallow waters of the Orontes Shoal.
This is my first post for quite a while; hopefully I can find the necessary time to devote to my blog and ABC Wednesdays once again.
