ahhhh Qld what do you expect gordon....the place is rotten to the core...
When I first lived on the Gold Coast, in 1954, it justified the title of Paradise
The southerners stuck out like sore thumbs. A local wit renamed Surfers in winter, 'Surfers Palestine' and had a collection of hundreds of photos he'd taken of the southern invaders' white scrawny legs and blue and purple varicose veins. They wore Edna Everage sunnies with fins which matched those on their cars. The Melbourne and Sydney plague
I went to school with Irving Korman, whose father built the first 'skyscraper' in Surfers -- Kinkabool. The rot had begun
But pre-southerner influence, Surfers (and Main Beach, Broadie, Burleigh, Biggera, etc.) was a true paradise. Thankfully, I still retain those golden memories
(and the Eagles '
Call some place paradise and kiss it goodbye) is sadly true
So it's your mob who destroyed the Gold Coast and much of Queensland, in concert with successive governments. Deliberate destruction
