About Labrador
Labrador is a suburb located on the Gold Coast in
Queensland, Australia. At the 2006 Census,
Labrador had a population of 15,391, and grew to
16,402 at the 2011 Census. Labrador overlooks the
Gold Coast Broadwater to the east and Southport
on the southern border.
Two noteworthy and historical buildings of 1921
were named after the neighbourhood, a
residence called Labrador house and the original
Labrador State School.
Currently the Gold Coast City Council endorses
the Labrador Heritage Walk, and produces a guide
booklet which includes twenty one
places of historical interest. Three mapped walks
have been designed to note the points of interest.
Thanks to a collection of preserved
photographs at the local studies library in
Southport, the booklet is well illustrated.
