4 Lord Street, Coolangatta.
The yellow handrails and retro typography on this block of units always makes me smile, and it had to be included in this series. I hope to always see examples of this architecture on the Gold Coast.

Burrows Street, Biggera Waters.
A close friend’s house which features blonde brick and a beautiful breezeblock carport. The Poinciana tree frames the view to the canal perfectly. I substituted a more period correct vehicle and neighbouring houses in the final artwork.

Inspired by a friend’s Bondwood van, I imagine this one being the base for a great weekend of fishing and yarns.

Palm trees and breezeblocks says ‘old Gold Coast’ to me. This series of works was inspired by a walk around Kirra after visiting a favourite local café.

231 Pacific Parade, Bilinga.
Admired for many years, and my ‘if I win Lotto house’, I found it for Auction when I went to photograph it in preparation for this block. I also saw with dismay, the sales pitch.

Don and Pam holidayed at the Palm Beach Caravan Park in 1969 with their only daughter (at the time) Donna. This park and the one at Magic Mountain were favourites until a decision was made to start holidaying at Cotton Tree on the Sunshine Coast due to the increased traffic on the Gold Coast. The family still holidays there to this day, and the rest of their family joins them also. Wonderful memories.

Cnr Marine Parade and Chairlift Avenue, Nobby’s Beach.
I love the way this property ‘steps back’ around the corner block, with the units all having ocean views. When I went back more recently to take my photos to work from, another unit had sold, and I wondered who would be enjoying living there now.

232 Pacific Parade, Bilinga.
If you asked me what epitomised a beach holiday, a pale blue fibro beach house framed by a Pandanus tree would be it. I give you my ultimate beach shack.

I took the photo for this print many years ago after a day at the ‘Wintersun’ carnival. The frangipani tree against the fibro flats said ‘holiday house’ to me, and the scent of their flowers reminds me of summer.

54 Twenty Seventh Avenue, Palm Beach.
I see this house every time I visit a close friend, and I would love to live there. Sunny yellow trims, fresh white paint, a pandanus tree and breezeblocks. It is an immaculately cared for home which is obviously treasured for its unique charm.
