The Gold Coast is a vibrant region that is famous for its stunning beaches and subtropical rainforests. Its 70 kilometres of uninterrupted coastline has thirty-five golden beaches that are patrolled all year round and offers something for everyone.

Follow the roads inland from the sand and surf and a magical world unfolds. Awaiting you is a world of lush rainforests, world heritage listed national parks with more than 160 kilometres of graded walking tracks, natural rock pools, winding country roads, quaint villages, craft shops and spectacular views.

Entertainment and the Gold Coast go hand in hand. Children stare in wide-eyed wonder while experiencing Dreamworld, Seaworld, Movieworld and Wet n Wild theme parks. The line-up is just as big for adults and includes live stage shows, theatre restaurants, nightclubs, balloon rides, cruises, deep- sea fishing and horse racing.

"The Golf Coast". A succession of 40 championship golf courses, varying in design and difficulty has earned the region its reputation, the "Golf Coast". A mid climate means golf can be enjoyed in perfect conditions all year round.

Sensational shopping is to be found on the Gold Coast. Resort shopping villages, variety packed centres, designer boutiques, elegant arcades plus art and craft markets can all be found.

A modern transport network links the hinterland and coastal areas with fantastic shopping centres, exciting entertainment parks, dining and nightlife. A new rail service and motorway connect the Gold Coast with Queenslands capital, Brisbane.

Brimming with excitement and adventure, the Gold Coast offers something for everyone.
