Point Danger

Point Danger is een hoge, steile rots uitkijkend over de Stille Oceaan aan de zuidzijde van de Gold Coast, Australië. Point Danger ligt op de grens van Queensland en Nieuw-Zuid-Wales.Kapitein Cook gaf de rots haar naam toen hij deze op 16 mei 1770 met zijn schip passeerde. Het gevaar (danger) zat hem in het feit dat zich ongeveer 5 mijl voor de kust ondiepe zandbanken bevonden. Vanwege deze zandbanken kreeg een andere berg in de omgeving de naam Mount Warning (= waarschuwing). Voor de kust liggen een aantal riffen (Fidos Reef, South Reef en Nine Mile Reef), die populair zijn bij duikers.)Op de rots, die via een weg bereikbaar is, treft men aan: een park met uitzichtspunt; de Kapitein Cook vuurtoren; het Centauer Monument (WO II) en de Walk of Remembrance (wandelpad

Bears President Paul Cronin announced on 23 December 1986 that the club would use Carrara Oval as their home ground. The financial backer of the Bears, Christopher Skase, spent $1 million redeveloping Carrara Oval over a 10-week period at the beginning of 1987 which included upgraded player facilities, seating for 6000 spectators and new electronic scoreboard.
