We wonder if those of you living in Burleigh Heads have ever come across some mysterious little doors on the streets? There are a few streets with these intriguing little doors that we pass by almost every day. Many of us might have walked by them multiple times but have never noticed!
Our favourite of these little doors is the one in the alley leading to the flagship store of Marketta. It’s on the right-hand side, and it looks like a painting by Van Gogh. It’s incredibly beautiful. If you have the chance to walk by, you should definitely pay it a visit like a pilgrimage!
Each of these little doors has its own unique style, and every time we see them, we can’t help but daydream. It’s like the cute little people in Studio Ghibli’s “The Borrower Arrietty” might actually exist in our everyday lives!
In fact, there are even more adorable little doors scattered throughout various areas. What kind of cute little doors have you come across let us know in the comment!

Story about these tiny fairy doors
These miniature doors are the creation of the artist Mace Robertson. However, even he can’t remember the exact number of them! Each door is designed with extreme delicacy, so much so that even the locals of Brisbane are unaware of the existence of these mini doors! Will a knock on the door bring out some little elves?
