Driving on the northern beach towards Southport, 1917

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  One of the beaches near Southport is the Main beach. While other suburbs snatch their names from exotic Aboriginal meanings or English seaside villages, Main Beach is far more literal. Situated at the northern end of the Gold Coast, Main Beach was so named as it was the main surf beach to the town of Southport. But while its name may be obvious, its hidden gems are far more exciting for this is one of the coast’s areas that celebrates something old and something new in style. A highlight of a visit here is to the beach itself, where the old bathing pavilion, Pavilion 34 to be precise, has been reincarnated as a casual beach café complete with Chiko rolls, potato scallops, pineapple fritters, and fish and chips. The old male and female change pavilions are still here and there are loads of retro photos to remind you of the Main Beach of old. This bathing pavilion sits next to the Southport Surf Club, the first to make its mark on the Gold Coast in 1936 and right next to a sprawling shady park which is perfect for oceanfront picnics.

Soldiers on the beach on Green Island, Cairns, 1943

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Green Island is a coral cay northeast of Cairns in Tropical North Queensland. The island boasts an unspoiled rainforest, stunning beaches, and a surrounding reef ... so close that you can snorkel directly off the beach. Source: www.queensland.com/us/en/places-to-see/destination-inform...

Group of men with a captured wild pig on the beach at Moreton Island, ca. 1920

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  It does not seem very safe being around feral pigs. "Feral pigs may carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans. They may become aggressive if their young are threatened. Feral pigs digging for food damage natural ecosystems. Moreton Island rangers are undertaking a feral animal management program on the island focussing on feral pigs."
