Today Nick and Nora share the last (for now) of their Gold Coast souvenirs.The first is a Delphine trio featuring a hand tinted transfer print of Coolangatta's famous Greenmount Guest House.
The second is a glass pin dish featuring a view from Razorback across the Coolangatta-Tweed Heads townships, looking eastward to Greenmount and Pilot Hill.
The photographs are deliberately displayed small here but don't forget to click on the images to view much larger sizes.Greenmount Guest House, named in 1904, not for its physical location but hometown of the guest house's Irish proprietor, cemented Coolangatta as the premier holiday destination on Queensland's southern coast.
Surviving storms and cyclones, the timber guesthouse, complete with its expanses of timber verandahs went the way of many local landmarks - felled by a developer's bulldozer in 1978 and in its current incarnation has quite a bit of period charm, (of a fashion).Today's Greenmount Resort is still a popular conference venue.
