Walking along the esplanade, these lovely people generously allowed me to share their art.

Capturing the highly decorative skin art on the sunlit esplanade along Surfers Paradise Beach. The perfect backdrop. The golden rays highlight intricate designs, revealing vivid colors and meticulous details. The beachside location enhances the interplay of art and nature. A story of culture, craftsmanship and personal expression against the stunning coastal scenery.

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.
