Gold Coast
Gold Coast in South East Queensland, Australia, is a highly popular tourist destination. It has a beautiful climate, fantastic surfing beaches, canal and waterway systems, a modern skyline dominated by high rise buildings and fantastic nightlife. Just outside of Gold Coast is the beautiful rainforest.
Gold Coast is well known for its different attraction parks, such as Paradise County, Dreamworld, Australian Outback Spectacular, Sea World, David Fleay Wildlife Park, Wet’n’Wild Water World, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Warner Bors. Movie World and White Water World.
The Q1 building is also popular amongst tourists. It is the second highest residential tower and public vantage point on the Southern hemisphere, next to the Eureka Tower in Melbourne. The views are truly spectacular and you can see all the way from Brisbane to Byron Bay.
Of course, the Gold Coast would be nothing without its surfers! One of the great parts of the surfer culture in Gold Coast is the Meter Maids. This is a scheme that was put in place to avoid tickets being issued for expired parking. The Meter Maids check the meters and put coins in the meter if your ticket is about to expire. They then leave a calling card under your windscreen wiper so you can repay the money that has been put into the parking meter.
Culturally, the Gold Coast has much to offer in the way of music and sports. There are also many recreational activities besides surfing. For example, fishing, golfing and boating. There are also plenty of sports centers, such as the Carrara Indoor Sports Centre, the Carrara Stadium, the Nerang Velodrome and the Sports Super Centre.
Gold Coast is a large city. Public transport is available and reliable, but if you truly want to explore not just the city but also the surrounding areas, like the rain forest, it can be a great idea to hire a car. This can be very cost effective as well, as car hire is very reasonably priced.
