BBC report from 1965

"so sure of itself" The idyllic location with the uppity joke name. So many just don’t quite understand. This Englishman from the BBC is trying. Maybe. There is something quintessetially British about his fabulously patronising tone.

Police Raid Surfers Paradise Pyjama Parties

Surfers Paradise Pyjama Parties

The classic Surfers Paradise Pyjama Parties at the Beachcomer Hotel. Licencing laws were strict so raids were regularly conducted… and anticipated. The police would confiscate the beer but people took to throwing the bottles in the pool. Which lead to the police going in after the evidence. While the cops disrobed the band played stripper music.
