The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s premier holiday
destinations. It is famous for its beaches, surf, theme parks, shopping,
nightlife and hinterland and has been attracting Australian families for
many decades.
Located in southeast Queensland, just one hour south
of Brisbane, the Gold Coast stretches from Cabarita Beach in New South
Wales, west to Beaudesert, north to Beenleigh and east to South
Stradbroke Island.
The region features 70 kilometers of uninterrupted
coastline and is fringed by rainforest hinterland, including World
Heritage-listed National Parks. The Gold Coast has a strong linear city
base that reveals a close alignment with the coastline, Pacific Highway
and the mountain ranges that all run parallel to the coast.
