The Surfers Paradise Hotel is long gone and one supposes that the equivalent iconic building on the Gold Coast today is the Q1.As attractive as it is, it's certainly not the same.
This artwork takes a look west from the beach end of Cavill Avenue to the hotel and painted by noted artist Elaine Haxton.

When I was about 9 years old, (1958)I went on a holiday to Coolangatta with my mum, dad and sister. We stayed at a motel called 77 Sunset Strip, named after the TV show of the same name. I have wonderful memories of it and would like to get more than the one image I found on the internet. It seemed to me that there was a huge choice of menu and out balcony overlooked the Tweed River. We saw sting rays and other marine life in the river. I'll never forget it. Do you know what that motel is called now?
