Gold Coast Attractions

Australia's Gold Coast is the ideal holiday place for people on the go, or on a go-slow. In one day you can enjoy surfing on golden beaches, bushwalking in subtropical rainforests, cruising down oceanfront boulevards in a fun convertible, or taking a dinner cruise aboard a luxury yacht.

There's thrill-a-minute theme parks, wonderful adventures at wildlife parks, spectacular shopping centres brimming with exquisite resortwear, colourful country markets, tropical fruit plantations, quaint mountain villages and more.

Come prepared for more games than you can ever play - on and off the sports field and special events offering everything from motor racing magic to musical spectaculars.

With 300 days of sunshine each year, make the most your stay on the Gold Coast with championship golf courses, fast and fun water sports, the high seas, secluded beaches, race meetings, inland waterways and year-round festivals.

If you prefer an easier pace, take in the sights from a hot-air balloon basket or grab a picnic basket and head for a scenic lookout in one of many nearby national parks.

Do nothing, or do it all. One thing's for sure, you'd be flat out finding a more exciting holiday destination than Australia's Gold Coast.
