Gold Coast

by robertgaz - last update: Nov 1, 2006

The most popular holiday destination down under

Broadbeach with Q1 Tower at left
The Gold Coast in south east Queensland stretches along 70km's of golden beaches from South Stradbroke Island in the north to beautiful Rainbow Bay at Tweed Heads in the south.

It is Australia's premier holiday destination where you can enjoy a romantic getaway or an action packed family holiday with all the thrills 'n' spills at the theme parks and other action stations.

But there are also many other hidden treasures to be savoured at the magnificent parks such as Springbrook and Lamington National Parks which are found in the Gold Coast's hinterland.

Theme Parks

Get your adrenalin fix at the Wet 'n' Wild, Movie World, Dream World or Sea World theme parks. But wait, there's more action at other fun places like Zorb, Adrenalin Park or Jet Boating.

Hinterland

Feeling a little jaded? Then take a break from the fast 'n' furious fun filled rides at the Gold Coast and find a some respite in the lush, cool rainforests and mountains of the hinterlands many National Parks.

 This place sucks. It's expensive and you only get to drive on a narrowed path and overtaking isn't allowed. what's the point?

 Excellent pages on the Gold Coast, people should find plenty to see and do after reading your tips.

 I just spent a week on the gold coast and always make a point of going to Pac Fair. Thursday is a good day to go as its there late night. Fav stores would be: Myers (wish we had Myers in NZ), Rockmans, Target, Works, Wombat.....just to name a few.
