Things to do in Gold Coast
This is a city forged by the warm rays of the Australian sun and the gorgeous crystal clear waters of subtropical Queensland. Just under an hour's drive from Brisbane, this gorgeous coastal city is famous for its soaring skyscrapers that face it's magnificent beachfront, stretching to infinity and beyond. The Gold Coast has "beach life" embedded in its very soul, a perfect place to embrace one's sun-drenched lifestyle, seafaring heart, and surfy-vibes, without fully escaping the city's buzzy-urban personality.
The further you move away, the more picturesque the outskirts become. Here, you can see beautiful untouched lush tropical forests, home to Springbrook and Lamington National Park, where you can go exploring, camping, or simply just venturing into the wild. If you decide to follow the coast, you can see spectacular isolated beaches with amazing surf breaks and charming local wildlife.
It's no surprise that the local Aboriginal tribes have been calling this area "home" for generations.
