Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the GOLD COAST POWER TRAIL.

A joint initiative by a group of local Gold Coast cachers.

This cache is part of the GOLD COAST POWER TRAIL.

A joint initiative by a group of local Gold Coast cachers.

Each cache is themed on a critter indigenous to the Gold Coast.

Most of the containers are small golden cache tubes with a logbook only and should be easy to find.

However, each participating cacher has one hide which may be more difficult!

This cache is named after a native Gold Coast bird called the "Rainbow Bee-Eater".

The Rainbow Bee-Eater(Merops Ornatus) is a very striking and colourful bird. Medium sized, with a long slim curved bill and a long tail with distinctive tail-streamers. Females have shorter, thicker tail streamers than males, but are otherwise similar. They eat insects, mainly catching bees and wasps on the wing and carry them back to a perch to beat them against it before swallowing them. Bees and wasps are rubbed against the perch to remove the stings and venom glands. We often see these beautiful birds in this area.
