Very Good Condition - Hardcover 
 
as early as 1863, Southport's idyllic position overlooking the Broadwater and the 'Boat Passage' was recognised as a perfect stie for a future 'water-place'.  This book shows the growth from a few shacks to its later role as Qld 'aristocratic watering place', and by the mid-twentieth century, the prosperous commerical and adminitrative centre of the Gold Coast.
