EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Surfers Paradise Hotel, Queensland, Australia: A 1930s Icon with a Ferocious Twist" This evocative photograph captures the Surfers Paradise Hotel in Queensland, Australia, during the 1930s. The image showcases the iconic building, which was originally established in 1925 under the name of Jim Cavill's Tropical Gardens and Zoo. The hotel underwent a name change in 1933, becoming simply known as Surfers Paradise. The photograph features the hotel's lush, tropical gardens, which once housed a zoo. The verdant foliage and vibrant flowers create a stunning backdrop for the imposing structure. The Surfers Paradise Hotel stands proudly, its Art Deco architecture a testament to the era. However, this image holds a surprising and intriguing twist. In the foreground, a large sign reads, "The Ferocious Monster Now On View!" This announcement draws attention to the zoo's newest addition - a crocodile. The ominous title adds an element of excitement and adventure, enticing visitors to explore the zoo and witness the raw power of nature. Tragically, the Surfers Paradise Hotel was destroyed by fire on Monday, 6th July, 1936. Despite the loss, the memory of this iconic Queensland landmark lives on through photographs like this one. The photograph not only captures a moment in time but also highlights the unique blend of nature, adventure, and architecture that defined the Surfers Paradise Hotel during the 1930s.
