Some Residents of Palm Beach, Australia Actually Own the Beach
- "Homeowners on one of the Gold Coast's most exclusive strips have taken the extraordinary step of fencing off parts of Palm Beach. But local councillor Daphne McDonald said there was nothing Gold Coast City Council could do because the beach was theirs to take.
