| In 1923 a Brisbane developer built the Surfers Paradise Hotel and with the construction of a bridge across the Nerang River in 1925 carloads of Brisbane people started to come and enjoy the wonderful beaches on the Gold Coast. During the 1950’s massive development began and land prices soared proving much cash to the developers which gave us the name Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast lived up
to its name and canals were
dredged, apartments built,
casino constructed and massive
urban development. Today
the development continues
with the recently completed
enormous convention centre
and
the world’s
highest apartment block.
Gold Coast holidays now
are the major driver of the
economy and visitors come
from all over the world to
enjoy wonderful holidays
on the Gold Coast.
