Golden Glory!I must admit that I have still never been to the Gold Coast and have actually only managed one fleeting visit to Brisbane in my entire life. I'm quite prepared to cobble together a whole bunch of preconceptions along with reminisces passed on to me by those that have actually been there to arrived at my own virtual Dreamworld...and this t-shirt is it! Really, this would sum it up back in the 70's & 80's - like Vegas without the gambling (or cheap buffet) and a smattering of token wildlife.
This true beauty is a white polyester/cotton with pale blue back & sleeves. Made by Town Promotions (Southport) - virtually striaght from the factory to the tourist's back. And they've managed to pack a short vacation into a single shirt. There's horse racing, surfing, beach beauty, highrise, flora AND fauna, fishing, the NSW/Queensland border memorial and Gold Coast Radio 4GG's logo! Marked a size 20 but in true poly/cotton fashion it could fit anyone down to a 14 if needed. Has a couple of small age spots but looks unworn since its likely purchase by a crew member of The Coolangatta Gold. Already a winner in my book.
I made that T shirt back in 1980
