Surfers Paradise apartments are places to stay when
in Surfers Paradise. Some may be here, not for surfing but for other good reasons.
Many people come here for surfing and for other reasons. I suppose some people
here are internet surfinf too. Surfers Paradise is a beach resort town on Australia's
Gold Coast in Queensland, noted for its many high-rise hotels. The central feature
of the Surfers Paradise CBD is the Cavill Mall which runs through the centre of
the main shopping precinct, directly to the beach. The record-breaking Q1 residential
tower is situated on Clifford Street in Surfers Paradise. Surfers Paradise takes
its name from a 16-room beachfront hotel run by a man named James 'Jim' Cavill.
Maybe he had Surfers Paradise apartments ,. In the mid 1920s, Surfers Paradise
was a sleepy little seaside town called Elston. The name Elston was bestowed upon
the area by Mr Palmer, the Postmaster, in nearby Southport. He decided to call
the receiving office near the surf beach after his wife's home village in Nottingham,
England. Elston began to gain in popularity following the opening of the Jubilee
Bridge in 1925 and the extension of the South Coast Road; the area was serviced
until that time only by Meyer's Ferry at the Nerang River. Suddenly, Elson was
no longer cut off by the river and speculators began buying up land around the
villages of Elston, and Burleigh Heads. Estates down the coast were heavily promoted
and hotels began opening to accommodate both tourists and investors. Jim Cavill
opened the Surfers Paradise Hotel the same year the Jubilee Bridge was built.
Located on the white surf beach just off the South Coast Road, it became a popular
spot and various shops and services sprang up around it. Some would live above
the shops in Surfers Paradise apartments . In the following years Cavill led a
push to have the name Elson changed to the more marketable Surfers Paradise. In
1933 his lobbying paid off and the town officially acquired its present name.
The boom of the 1950s and 1960s was largely centred on this area and the first
of the tall apartment buildings that now characterise the area were constructed
in the decades that followed. Little remains of the early vegetation or natural
features of the area and even the historical association of the beachfront development
with the river is tenuous. The early subdivision pattern remains although later
reclamation of the islands in the Nerang River as housing estates, and the bridges
to those islands, has created a contrast reflected in subdivision and building
form. Some early remnants survived such as Budd's Beach - a low-scale open area
on the river which even in the early history of the area was a centre for boating,
fishing and still-water swimming. Some minor changes have occurred in extending
the road along the beachfront since the early subdivision and The Esplanade road
is now very much a focus of activity in this part of the Gold Coast. Promenading
and people-watching takes place in this area where land use encourages not only
residential activity but tourism with supporting shops and restaurants. The intensity
of activity, centred on Cavill, Orchid and Elkhorn Avenues, is reflected in the
density of building development. Of all places on the Gold Coast the buildings
in this area constitute a dominant and enduring image visible from many vantage
points in the city from as far south as Burleigh Heads as well as from the mountain
resorts of the hinterland and beyond. So many have reasons to have a apartment
here, Not just surfers, but people working here, and people who live here, loads
of people have reasons to have apartments in tghis place.
