Before my time. I’ve lived on the GoldCoast for almost 20 years but never seen a Santaland. Where was it? The clown is strange. Santa Claus or Father Christmas grottos have elves, not clowns. It looks more American than Australian.

I lived there from'94 to 2017 and don't remember hearing about it.

That’s definately a creepy clown and I reckon that’s an American picture also.

Don’t know when it closed but can remember going there in the late 60’s or early 70’s
