RC Twin Gold Coast 31 July 08 0002

Background, model is a scratch built from plans 'Eastwind Models' Gemini Twin. Of interest is the Surfers Paradise / Broadbeach skyline (bit difficult to see with the morning sunrise), Royal Pines Resort (The lone high rise, of which this model is at least twice the height of!), City Botanic Gardens (under development), Nerang Broadbeach road, Carrara stadium, Emmanual College, Palm Meadows Golf course, and their Baseball field, the Nerang river, at the 4:14 mark the appearance of a bird in the LH corner flying aliong below model. Most interestingly is that this site is the location of the old 'Surfers Paradise International Raceway' AND Airfield. (Bruce McGarvey kept the Tiger Moths here...Now all you can see are lakes and waterways all artificially created, and so gace the Gold Coast the name many years ago of little Venice. (Not all those waterways are man made BTW) Some others like the Nerang River (Parrallel to the Nerang Broadbeach road as in the 3:04 minute part of the video have been there forever and are infested with Bull sharks (Carcharinus Leucas ?) Anyway Hope you enjoy
