Gold Coast

• The Gold Coast is a metropolitan region south of Brisbane on Australia’s east coast, famed for its surfing, long sandy beaches and elaborate system of inland canals and waterways. It’s also home to the Sea World, Dreamworld and Wet’n’Wild theme parks. Inland, hiking trails crisscross Lamington National Park’s mountain ridges and valleys, home to rare birds and rainforest.
  From the iconic Surfers Paradise beach to the dining precincts of Main Beach and Broadbeach and out to the lush, green hinterland, there’s a new experience waiting for you at every turn on the Gold Coast. Theme parks, world-renowned beaches and year-round sunshine are just a few of the reasons 10.5 million visitors flock to the Gold Coast each year.
