The Broadwater, Paradise Point, Southport 4215

This location is appropriately featured in the Royal Australian Air Force Publication No. ACD 157.

It is not known whether any particular on-shore installations were constructed as distinct from possibly floating moored pontoon landing structures. Details Sheet in this publication suggests EMERGENCY alighting ground only.

The Southport Broadwater has changed drastically since those times.
