The Aquaduck eases away from Cavill Avenue with a soft splash, the skyline of Surfers Paradise folding into a ribbon of glass and sand as the vehicle slips from street to river. Sea breeze cuts through tower shade; gulls wheel and the hull hums—this is a city that moves on water as much as on asphalt.
