  • If you love bushwalking, then Mt. Warning should definately be on your 'must do' list!!! It's about a 5hr bushwalk (from memory?) and the scenery is terrific!!! They have dawn walks too and a lot of people do the walk on new year's eve because Mt. Warning is supposed to be the first point that get hit by the sun in Australia.

    Hinterland / National Parks: Nimbin - home of alternative lifestyle
  • Tip Rating:
  • Nimbin is about 40min out of Murwillumbah - south-west of Gold Coast. Nimbin is a real cultural experience. We lived on a community (share land) for a while and enjoyed the natural lifestyle. The scenery is beautiful. Check out when the markets are on - it's a nice way to spend the day.

    Off The Beaten Path: Byron Bay
  • Tip Rating:
  • Byron Bay is about 1and half hours south of the Gold Coast. It has great surfing beaches, shopping, markets, lighthouse viewing, alternative stuff, nightlife and blues festival. Plus you might get to see some movie stars there as it seems to be a popular spot to build their flash houses. Anyway, Byron's a great place for a day's sightseeing.
