Andrews was once a suburb located in the beautiful Gold Coast area of Queensland, Australia. It's interesting because Andrews is no longer an official place name. It's like a "lost" suburb that changed its identity over time.

What Was Andrews?

A suburb is a residential area that is part of a larger city or town. Andrews was officially created as a suburb in 1981. It was a place where people lived, worked, and went to school, just like any other suburb today.

How Andrews Got Its Name

Andrews was named after a family who owned a lot of land in that area. It's common for places to be named after important people or families who helped develop the region. This helps us remember their history and contributions.

The Change to Varsity Lakes

In 2002, something big happened to Andrews. It was decided that Andrews would no longer be a separate suburb. Instead, it was combined with another suburb called Stephens. A part of Robina was also included in this change.

All these areas came together to form a brand new suburb called Varsity Lakes. A small part of Andrews also became part of Burleigh Heads. This means that the name "Andrews" officially disappeared from maps and addresses. It's a great example of how places can change and evolve over time!
