This is Cache number #9 in the GCL series. The GCL bus route
runs clockwise and anti-clockwise around Brisbane linking major
suburban facilities and shopping centres whilst avoiding the need
for commuters to transit via the city. The service runs express
stopping at only dedicated bus stops allowing it to become one of
the most popular and recognised bus routes in Brisbane.
The series has been designed so that you can take in the sights
and sounds of Brisbane whilst travelling in air-conditioned comfort
on the 598 or 599 GCL bus route (Please note that this is best
attempted on a weekday when the bus runs every 30 minutes). The
caches are placed within walking distance of selected GCL bus stops
and each cache has been numbered and placed randomly along the
routes. You should be able to get off the bus, find the cache and
return to the stop to catch the next bus 30 minutes later. Each
cache contains a game piece. Be sure to note the number on the game
tile and also the colour – but please DO NOT remove it from the
cache you found it in. You will not find the clues in order but
once you have found all 10, you need to put the clues together in
the order the caches are numbered ie. GCL#1, GCL #2 etc.
Please note that the final cache is not on the Great Circle Line
bus route, but you must travel the entire route in order to get the
final co-ordinates (and get back to your car :) )
Use the below to help check that you have the clues in the right
order
