The Advertiser (Adelaide) Thursday 30 March, 1911.
Queensland coast. Except at Cape
Moreton, not a lighthouse is equipped with
a Morse lamp.
An extraordinary state of affairs. There were no stations for receiving Marconi signals which would not have helped Yongala even if she carried a wireless installation. Apart from flags and the light itself there was no way of communicating with steamers along the Queensland coast relevant to the final route of Yongala. In other words when Yongala passed Dent Island, 6.30 pm, 23 March, it was dark and there was no means of communication.
Caught out with a false time!!!
6.35 p.m. was a fabrication.
