The Gold Coast is Australia’s holiday playground commonly known as entertainment capital – backed by ocean boulevards, resort shopping, a casino, nightclubs and bars, the central region has all the perfect ingredients for a playground for the young and young at heart.
The climate being subtropical, the region enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year.
This area’s greatest attractions are golden beaches those stretch forever and are washed by the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Try fishing in the ocean waters, lakes or streams, parasailing, deep sea diving, surfing, windsurfing, parachuting and hang – gliding.
The theme parks are thrill – a – minute parks for all ages. Ride a giant roller coaster or water slide, be entertained by colorful characters, take in the sights from a hot-air balloon, and learn to throw a boomerang and shear a sheep or feed brilliantly colored lorikeets, kangaroos and wallabies. There are stunts galore from dolphins and high – flying acts to crazy magic and Wild West adventures. Lose yourself in a world of mystery and illusion at these parks. Take a photograph with the Tiger at Dream world where you can actually sit next to him.
A growing number of tourists visit the Gold Coast to play golf around this region, which has some 36 international standard golf courses and resorts. Courses very in design from the extremely challenging, featuring abundant waterways and hazards, to the natural and links-style- resort courses.
Mountains peaks, cascading waterfalls, wide open spaces with breathtaking views, national parks, quaint towns and villages all form part of the hinterland. Backtracks take you through the rainforest. Stay overnight at O’ Reilly’s Rainforest Guesthouse and BinnaBurraMountains lodge which provide excellent accommodation as well as guided walks.
For the adventurous there is bungee jumping, hang-gliding and endless other exciting things to do.
As the Gold Coasts boast it has everything under the sun!
