==History==
Around 1920, Brisbane hotelier [[James Cavill|James (Jim) Cavill]]<ref>[http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A130433b.htm Jim Cavill] at adb.online.anu.edu.au</ref> acquired twenty-five [[acre]]s (10 [[hectare]]s) of land in an area known as Elston – the place known now as [[Surfers Paradise]]. The name James Cavill has always been connected with Surfers Paradise.{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}}  Dated back to 1923, Cavill paid [[Pound sterling|£]]40 for a block of land. In 1925 he built the Surfers Paradise Hotel and is the namesake for Cavill Mall and Cavill Avenue. Then the bridge across the [[Nerang River]] was built, improving access to the hotel that, at the time, had a small zoo and a beer garden. During World War II, the hotel was used by convalescing soldiers, some of whom later returned with their wives and families.
