Event location
Southport information
Southport Broadwater dominates this suburb, a superb natural protected waterway used for boating, watersports, swimming and fishing. Wander along walkways, go cycling or view the play of light on the water – the largest expanse of calm water in Australia.
Southport has developed a reputation as a holiday destination from the 1890s. Brisbane residents heard of an excellent fishing and seaside location – favoured even by then Queensland Governor Sir Anthony Musgrave. At that time steamers and cutters plied the area and the kiosk baths were built. Major landmarks still standing include the exclusive St Hilda’s School, The Southport School and the Court House.
Southport and neighbouring Labrador have been the suburbs of renewed residential development.
