About Gold Coast
Queensland's Gold Coast threads 70 kilometres of subtropical Pacific shoreline, with Surfers Paradise at its centre and the 322-metre Q1 Tower – the country's tallest residential building outside Sydney – anchoring its high-rise skyline. To the south, Burleigh Heads pairs a celebrated point break with a rainforest headland reserve, while Coolangatta stretches family-friendly sand along the New South Wales border. The sea holds 25–27 °C77–81 °F from December through April, with Gold Coast Airport thirty minutes from the central strip.
