BLUFF HARBOUR DEVELOPMENT WELL ADVANCED.—The new island in Bluff harbour which is now completed. A start has been made to construct wharf sheds. The small inlet is the coastal berth, and the larger one for overseas vessels. The present wharf (tip shows on right) will be retained for oil tankers and phosphate ships. New reclaimed land may be seen on the foreshore, and the tank on the right is for storage of hot bitumen. The island in the background is Spencer Island, which it is proposed to enlarge as a home for the planned new aluminium industry.
