The Gold Coast

We thought the Sunshine Coast was over commercialised until we reached the Gold Coast and especially around Surfers Paradise. Even though the beaches are perfect surfing beaches the skyscrapers are enormous and they are building more like there’s no tomorrow! Luckily we stayed at the south end of the Gold Coast right on the boarder of Queensland and New South Wales where it was a lot quieter and less built up. We spent a few days in Coolangatta watching the finals of the cricket and gloating when we won. We also went into the Lamington and Springbrook National Parks although the weather had taken a turn for the worse but as we keep getting told ‘We need the rain’. We don’t!!
