"Gold Coast - Australia by Gwynneth" Gold Coast by Gwynneth

Gold Coast Travel Guide: 845 reviews and 1,806 photos


If you love sun,
surf and sand... unpolluted air and a relaxed lifestyle, with heaps of Tourist attractions thrown in, then you'll love the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia.

The Gold Coast is Australia's 'tourist capital' but for those of us who've lived there it's a wonderful place of fresh new discoveries, wonderful wildlife and pristene beaches.

You wont find a friendlier township of people that know what it's like to constantly adapt to change.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Warm ocean waters mean you can swim all year round.
  • Cons:Not living there anymore!
  • In a nutshell:More than beautiful suntanned people and miles of white sandy beaches!
  • Last visit to Gold Coast: May 2001
