The Gold Coast is a stunning coastal region on the East Coast of Australia, just north of Brisbane. It’s one of the best places to visit for a family vacation because it’s packed full of things to do.
We’ve done parts of The Gold Coast Oceanway, which is a network of pathways along the beaches of the coast which range up to 4 km long and are popular with cyclists and walkers.
Free Lorikeet Feeding at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
Hundreds of rainbow lorikeets descend upon you from the surrounding trees to get a lick at the sweet honey nectar that you hold out in a bowl in your hands. They will climb up your arms, on your head, and just sit on your hands drinking.
Get up at 6am for a Gold Coast walk and it feels like midday with everyone out walking or running. You can’t help but get caught up in the energy of the place.
They don’t call it the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise for nothing! Not only famous for fun, the Goldy is renowned for its beaches which also happen to be home to some of the world’s most famous surf breaks.
We especially love farmer’s markets for stocking up on supplies for self-catering when having picnics and BBQs, or when staying in apartments with kitchens.
