Please note: Multigrip Pliers may be required to open this cache!
Here we have a long stretch of patrolled beach that’s hugely popular with young families. With plenty of BBQs and a great playground, Broadbeach is also home to some of the best resorts and restaurants. The area is also home to The Star Gold Coast, the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre and the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre.
There's an old joke at Broadbeach... What noise do the Seal and Pup make when playing on the Gold Coast Highway? Plat.
The cache is designed to blend in to its surroundings and is hidden in plain sight. Due to the nature of how the container is constructed, there's only room for a pencil and a logsheet. There is information recorded on the cache container that will assist you in finding the Gold Coast Beaches GeoTour Challenge Cache. (Will that even fit in the cache name field?)

And a beautiful beach too.
We must come back soon to find more in this series.
Clue has been noted.
Thanks heaps for this cache MattyRx.
Caching in the area with whitewebbs and this was one of the caches we found. The 2nd cache in the geotour and the start of a great day's caching taking us on a grand tour of some beautiful beaches. Cache and contents in good condition.

Out and about caching in this beautiful area with Tassie Trekkers targetting GCA caches and this clever hide was one we found. This is the first geotour we have followed, thanks for compiling. A great way to see the beaches in the area. TFTC
I must admit to being surprised at the openness of the casuarinas at this end of the beach, with thoughts of how many camp amongst them and why.
Thanks for the caches. Now to crunch the numbers for the final.
* some exercise equipment (I don't need - I have a six pack like a block of melted chocolate),
* a little pedal train on a tracks (boring - it doesn't go anyway), and
* lots of people having BBQs in the park (hello, my name is Samboo - may I join you, I love a good picnic)
But I didn't gate crash any picnics but Max and I did have a bit of a photoshoot on the sand. Now since this is the last one for a while, excuse me while I get the sand out of places which don't normally have sand.
Thanks for the cache.
