As you can see, MAST does not plan to replace the missing marker.

If you are planning to go to Tassie for next year's Wooden Boat Festival,
you may want to download the notice to mariners direct, which includes a picture of the location of the Dooen, so as to be able to better avoid it.

If you think the mark should be replaced, then contact Julie Wells, e-mail address above, with your opinion, and your reasons for the opinion.
