Border cheek: New way to stop traffic

Normally it’s the checkpoint that stops traffic at the Tweed-Coolangatta border ... ‘butt’ not if this nude show-stopper has anything to say about it. SEE THE PICTURES

NORMALLY it’s the Tweed-Coolangatta border checkpoint that is stopping traffic.

But on Sunday morning, a woman with more front than Myers was responsible for queue build-up at the southern Gold Coast checkpoint near Stuart Street.

The woman first appeared on the balcony wearing a bikini. Picture: Scott Powick.

The woman on the balcony just above the checkpoint blockade staffed by police ended up getting completely nude for what appeared to a photo shoot.

It’s unclear what she was having a crack at the time but one witness – Bulletin photographer Scott Powick – said it caused a decent crowd to build up at the checkpoint and watch proceedings.

However she soon caught the attention of surprised passers-by by stripping off completely. Picture: Scott Powick.

“A lot of people gathered around, pedestrians, cars. It was all happening about 60 metres from the border,” he said.

“It was on the Tweed Heads side looking over into Queensland. I first heard about it because a couple walking past me said ‘Have you seen the naked girl up on the balcony?’.”

Mr Powick said he spoke to several police officers on the Queensland side of the border but they said there was nothing they could do.

“They said we can’t do anything about it, it’s on the NSW side – all we can do is watch.”
