The place where the kids now go to school ...

Southport is home to two of the Gold Coast's oldest public schools ... TSS 'The Southport School' (David attends) an all boys school with expansive grounds and riverfront position and St Hilda's Girl School (Harriet attends) a past provider of powerful local and state business leaders and politicians.

The streets are 'green scaped', the people are friendly, the sky is usually bright blue, the air is clean, the lifestyle pleasant and relaxed and Main Beach is 2 minutes away by car. Many of Southport's 15,000 residents walk to work in the Southport commercial area and there is a very strong home-office-business component.

Widely regarded as the most sought after location in Queensland, Main Beach allows you to simultaneously bask in a lifestyle of relaxed beachside living whilst being in the hub of high end sophistication. From designer boutiques and speciality stores, to the tempting array of fabulous eateries, Main Beach's Tedder Avenue offers a chic yet relaxed atmosphere by day or night.

Main Beach effortlessly shrugs off the ‘touristy’ image of the Gold Coast. No "We Luv the Gold Coast" T’Shirts or stuffed koala bears are sold here. It is the elite end of the Coast with an atmosphere that is intoxicating.
