Probably the most highly developed tourist destination in Australia, the Gold
Coast stretches for over forty kilometres from the New South Wales border
to Southport, making up Queensland's most southern section of coastline.
Encompassing over twenty townships including the pulsing Surfers Paradise,
it's attractions include resort to
hostel styles of accommodation, thumping nightclubs, restaurants, a
casino, and various amusement and theme parks. If your seeking a slightly
quieter pace, there is also a wide range of natural and commercialised
wildlife reserves, great shopping, and many golden beaches to simply
laze about on.
The Gold Coast hosts:
The Billabong Pro as well as many other surfing championships.
The National Surf Lifesaving titles at Kurrawa beach.
Uncle Toby's Ironman Series.
along with much much more....
