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 °C from December through April, with Gold Coast Airport thirty minutes from the central strip.
