History of the Area
The area where Circle on Cavill stands has an interesting history.
Around 1920, a hotel owner from Brisbane named James Cavill bought a lot of land. This land was known as Elston. Today, we call this place Surfers Paradise. James Cavill's name is still very important to Surfers Paradise.
In 1923, Cavill bought a block of land for £40. In 1925, he built the Surfers Paradise Hotel. Cavill Mall and Cavill Avenue are named after him. Later, a bridge was built across the Nerang River. This made it easier to get to the hotel. The hotel even had a small zoo and a beer garden.
During World War II, the hotel was used by soldiers who were recovering. Many of these soldiers later came back to Surfers Paradise with their families.
