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

violent hands on the toll fees, estimated at well over 1000 pounds for the three days," the Herald continued. And, much like this year, many people turned to camping along the beach, with "canvas houses, replete with every comfort, even to electric light, separate sleeping compartments, and spring mattresses".

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.
