About Southport (Qld)
Southport is the most populous suburb in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, and contains the Gold Coast central business district. It lies on the Nerang River where it flows into the Broadwater, the southern end of Moreton Bay. Originally known as Nerang Creek Heads, it was renamed Southport as the southernmost port of colonial Queensland, and the arrival of the railway in 1889 helped it grow into a seaside resort.
