The Breaky Creek Hotel is on Kingsford Smith Dr. Right in Brisbane city. It fronts the Breakfast Creek which runs into the Brissy River, just after the Story Bridge. Nowhere near the Gold Coast...google it if you don't believe me.
Anyway, BCH is a Brisbane landmark, so was Cloudland. The song is about how nothing ever stays the same and that people are prepared to knock down landmarks to make a buck. BCH sold, but fortunately never got knocked down. Unfortunately, it was highly renovated and is now longer a place to drop in for a drink, it is upmarket and expensive and certainly not working class anymore.
