"IMPREXXION: THE GOLD COAST" Gold Coast by xuessium

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

..."This was my second leg of my first trip into Oz. I was cutting through new territories, not having travelled so far before. The Gold Coast was a natural choice (a mate and his then sheila, now wife, had landed a few months before and told me not to miss this spot), having nursed a yearning for the beach for several months. I remembered vividly the walk I had on the golden sand on my last evening: waves rushing in onto the shore against a lavender shaded evening sky, a surfer fighting the dying day in the near distance, riding the crests and surviving the troughs, and me surfing my own crests and troughs of thoughts and emotions"...

Disclaimer: It has been quite some time since my visit so things may have moved along. Change is the only permanence.
