Gold Coast is a very beautiful city in Queensland and is only about 2 hrs drive from Queensland’s capital city Brisbane! There are both domestic and international flights flying into Gold coast!

Gold Coast is famous for its most beautiful beaches! If you are visiting Australia you cant make an itinerary without visitng these beaches!

The beautiful and famous beaches like Surfers Paradise and Mermaid’s beach have  one of its very own and magnificient beach which made them a must-see in the city! Surfer’s Paradise is full of holiday accommodations and hotels! Right opposite to the beach is the shopping centre with food court, bowling and obviously excellent shopping! My personal favourite was “Tree Of Life”! It had niceindo-western jewellery and dresses for quite a cheap price! I never got that stuff for that price in Sydney!

When I visit places, I tend to buy more of local stuff rather than international brands as I can get them anywhere, but for the local stuff I cant find them anywhere again! Its for its originality! Surfer’s paradise is full of such shopping!

While you can enjoy the day with in the waters, or enjoying the bright sunshine lying on the beach, the night life is amazing! Even on a weeknight the place is full of party-goers and there are some excellent pubs that you can hit and have  a late night!

Queensland tourism have also done an excellent job in setting up information centres everywhere in the major centres of the city and the major tourism spots, giving out information and brochures regarding the various tourism hot-spots, activities and transportation.

There are many number of activities for the adventure-lovers like Jet skiing, Para-Sailing, Speed boating, Bungee jumping, rain forest walks etc! Though I could not cover all of them due to the lack of time, we definitely did a good job with Jet Skiing, Para-sailing and speed boating and I am glad we did them! Its an experience that no-one should ever miss! And yeah if I visit this place again, which I am sure I will in next couple of years, then I would do all of them again and much much more!

• Movie World
• Sea World
• Wet ‘n’ Wild
• Dream World

You might have guessed by now that Wet n Wild is my favourite.

Warner Bros Movie World is just great with exciting rides like Scooby-Doo roller coaster ride,  shows like the Batman show, a 4-D picture, the fun and the excitement from  “The Police Academy” show, the Superman Escape where you can fly with Superman and help him in one of the rescue operations (obviously its 4D) and much much more there is heaps of fun for both kids and adults!

Sea World is also my favourite as it provides a unique opportunity to watch and learn facts about all the rare and geographically dispersed animals! You dont have to travel to Antarctica  to see Penguins, or visit north or south poles to see a Polar Bear! Sea World has them all! There are a couple of Polar Bears which form the main attraction here! You can feed penguins, or visit the Dolphins Show to see the gorgeous Dolphins performing stunts! In my opinion, this is a place packed with fun and lots of knowledge too!

After Movie World’s dramas and Sea World’s knowledge what better place can you find in Gold Coast other than Wet n Wild! Packed with adventure, fun and heaps of excitement the water rides, pools, water slides, waves pool which makes waves on regular time intervals and much much more are all suitable for all age groups! There are kids pools as well where kids can meet other kids and make new friends! During school holidays season they play movie on every saturday night near the pool! You can watch this resting in your beach chair or from being in the pool! Overall its very romantic and fun!

What? Enjoy the fun and excitement in the theme parks
