Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast is located in the south East of Queensland, Captain Cook passed this coastal area in 1770 and named Point Danger and Mount Warning but it wasn't until 1840 that a government surveyor charted the Gold Coast region. At the time of the mapping Queensland was not a state but was still part of New South Wales. The region was to be made available for free settlers. By 1845 there were only 1,599 Europeans in what was to become Queensland. And still in 1850 there were only 2,000 Europeans in the entire region and then in December 1859 the new colony of Queensland was declared and by the Census of 1861 Queensland's population had grown to 32,838.
The Gold Coast became a sugar cane and farming region with oysters and fishing developing in the Broadwater areas, however it wasn't until 1923 when James Cavill visited and built the Surfers Paradise Hotel. This was the start of what has now become one of Australia's number one tourist destinations, with visitors from all walks of life and from every corner of the globe.
