Escape to the seaside For those Brisbane residents who have experienced the Bruce and M1 highway gridlocks at the start of holidays, the 1931 exodus to the seaside after a difficult year may seem all too familiar. An election and change of government, with Joseph Lyons and his United Australia Party elected, brought about a positive change to the state's mood, the Central Queensland Herald reported.After a "year of such depression as Queensland had not previously known", buoyed by the election result, residents turned out their pockets and went shopping, holidaying and camping. "On Christmas Eve there came a general exodus to the seaside and every resort within reach of the city crowds was thronged," it wrote. "By train and car thousands departed for the South Coast resorts ... the new toll bridge over the Logan Bridge reaped a golden harvest, and two traffic policemen were constantly on duty to supervise the unending rush of cars - and incidentally to guard against possibility of a raid by bandits intent on laying

Originally named after the Miami Hotel in 1925, the area was used as a large military camp in World War II. Miami experienced substantial building growth in the 1960s which was also when the district’s State High School was opened, attended by Anna Bligh who would later become Queensland’s Premier in 2007. In 1962 a chairlift was opened that would take visitors up to a cafeteria on North Nobby Hill. Eventually, a Magic Castle was built there and in 1983 the site was developed as the Magic Mountain theme park, complete with theatre, playground, and even ‘thrill rides’. It was a vibrant tourist attraction for a number of years until it was replaced by holiday apartments that still go by the name ‘Magic Mountain Resort’.
