Travel Blogs from Gold Coast, Australia
Palm Beach and more of Sydney
This is a top pick! No blog as such in that there is no real write up, just some more photos of our time in Sydney and of Palm Beach which is north of Sydney as it better known as Summer Bay, location of Aussie soap opera Home and Away. We hope you enjoy the ...
Road trip part 3 - Melbourne to Gold Coast
This is a top pick! ... sunset to rival the many we have already witnessed. After feeling uber special we hit the road this time heading for the Gold Coast. This place requires a large bank account so our stay is short. However whilst in town we decide to splash out on one ...
Gold Coast
This is a top pick! So after a quick trip across the Tasman, I arrived in Australia. More specifically at Coolangatta airport on the Gold Coast to begin my jaunt into the land down under. Mark, my mate from back home picked me up and it wasn't long before we were cruising ...
Just another day in
This is a top pick! ... a fright. Before we left on this trip, Jane was concerned because she had heard all about the dangerous creatures that inhabit Australia. I had reassured her that we wouldn't encounter any of these things and she had nothing to worry about. So far, ...
Brisbane & Tungun - Day 219
This is a top pick! ... are few things I need to see. The Whitsunday islands and Frasier island are defiantly a must. Went to Tugun beach on the Gold coast for a few hours this afternoon. A beautiful warm day with a cool sea breeze. For me, the most quintessential Australian ...
Gold Coast
This is a top pick! ... was completley broke, even having maxed out my credit card. I started to look for work but the steady stream of jobs in the gold coast bullitien coencadentially seemed to dry up when I needed them most. Eventually I went for quite an exciting job at a new ...
Surfers, but not Paradise (CONTAINS VIDEO)
This is a top pick! ... ones, known as 'toolies', are generally the more troublesome group. Surfers Paradise is kind of like the Las Vegas of Australia, without the bizarre themed casinos. High-rise hotels and holiday apartments tower over the streets, while hte palm trees, ...
Catching the waves...well, sort of...
This is a top pick! Well, I had my first surf lesson, courtesy Ross, and lets just say that I'm no Gidget. After a lovely pancake breakfast, courtesy me, we headed out surfboard in hand (or wedged between the two front seats of Ross's car) with good spirits and high ...
Tie Me Rooney Down Sport
This is a top pick! ... life we sped south on the South East Freeway through the Brisbane suburbs and onto a very busy Pacific Motorway towards the Gold Coast. An hour later and we'd arrived in Southport where we booked into Broadwater Caravan Park shelling out a record figure ...
Everybody's gone surfin'......
This is a top pick! Today we set off for Surfers Paradise. First we had a drive by both main stadiums in Brisbane, the Suncorp Stadium - home of the Queensland Roar & Brisbane Lions, and The Gabba - cricket stadium & home of Brisbane Reds. We checked in at Main Beach ...
Cruising on the crest of a wave....well allmost!
This is a top pick! We went off for our two hour surf lesson at 10am. We both really enjoyed this. We both managed to stand up - but not for very long. Improvements will be made next time. At least we got stood up though which was the main goal today. The only unfortunate ...
Indy Racing hits town and a weekend of partying
This is a top pick! ... and they get a surprisingly high number of takers although Mandy politely declined..... This was definitely the biggest party of the East coast so far and an amazing weekend. We left at Monday lunchtime looking forward to catching up on lost sleep on our ...
Smutty Surfers and DreamWorld Fun
This is a top pick! ... renowned beach and celebrate to the day, being away for 6 months on our round the world trip, by going to DreamWorld; Australia’s largest theme park. As we have both been lucky enough to go to Florida we were a little dubious about visiting a ...
Miami Vice
This is a top pick! ... of the one in the UK. Also, what is Australia's fascination with Wales? In the UK we watch Afghanistan and the Gulf - in Australia they watch Wales!! Why? Do they fear World domination by our friends from the valleys & the hills? Weird. The clocks go ...
"Crikey...!"
This is a top pick! With funds rapidly disappearing we caught a flight from Darwin to Brisbane. In an ideal world we would have continued around Australia by road, but lacking a car and time, we opted for the easy way out. The reason we had to rush over to Brissy was because ...
Austrailia - Surfers Paradise
This is a top pick! Day 1 In one of our earlier starts we arose at 6:45am and finished packing our things before saying goodbye to Diane and Peter, the managers of the Sunseeker and probably the nicest couple of hotel staff we have come across ever! As usual the bus ...
Moving on......
This is a top pick! ... at the end. Was nice to see so many people so early in the morning remembering our history. After that drove down to the Gold Coast airport for our cheapo flight (Jetstar) to Sydney where we sad goodbye to Andrew who had looked after us so well. ...
Family Life on the Gold Coast
This is a top pick! ... rival any beach side vacation town in the world. Nimbin was a hippies paradise high in the mountains behind the Gold Coast. Coolangatta and Carrarra were wonderfully local towns that have managed to preserve at least some of the non-tourist ...
Ooh yesss!!!
This is a top pick! ... it comes in. Enter with caution, boxing gloves and expect to get a fat lip. The beach which stretches for miles (aptly named the Gold Coast), is also cool. Its just nice here and for once, it feels like I'm on holiday, rather than travelling. I know I ...
Surfers Paradise!
This is a top pick! ... later foud out)! Its very cloudy, but still really humid. We can definately feel the change in temperature as we head up the coast, it just keeps on getting more humid! Anyway, we are off to Brisbane so will be writing from there in the next ...
Beach Bums
This is a top pick! We dossed by the van until lunchtime and then spent the whole afternoon on the beach. It was great doing the old boarding again on the crest of some realky big waves. We got back to have dinner as the sun went down. Then we just sat at the side of the ...
Is it really a Paradise?
This is a top pick! So we arrived in Surfers Paradise on Wednesday afternoon and it is a lot like Blackpool, touristy and tacky and you wouldn't want to stay any longer than a week. Having said that, it does have a lot of bars, and our hostel is marvellous. It's a hotel ...
IT'S CHEAP TUESDAY!!! Off to see our Lord in a bay
This is a top pick! Today we headed off to Byron Bay. It wasn't too far so we took our time, but we did lose an hour on the way when we crossed the border. We checked in at our van park, Broken Head Caravan Park, which is right on the beach - it's a fantastic position. We ...
Expert Surfers (not!)
This is a top pick! ... . Very amusing indeed. After that back up to some fantastic views and a picnic lunch before we headed downhill for a drive up the coast and a quick walk/paddle in the sea and see the high rise sky-line of Surfers Paradise. Back home I started on ...
The Gold Coast
This is a top pick! ... smaller, with the 50 cent piece likely to be banned at airport security as a weapon. The mellow white sand of the Gold Coast stretches north towards Brisbane in one seemingly continuous beach from the New South Wales border to this Spit at the mouth ...
Gold Coast
This is a top pick! So, we flew from the West coast of Oz across to the East coast - as you do. Gold Coast was really nice. We stayed at Surfers Paradise, which some Australians view as a bit of a hole but we thought it was grand. Probably more of a hole at 1am when people ...
Gold Coast
This is a top pick! Off to the East Coast again. This time we wanted to do Fraser Island and Port Douglas. We went back to Surfers and stayed in Hotel Vegas (again). Apparently as a kid Michael went to a buffet in Vegas with his ...
