When visiting Australia, many people focus on the outback and traditional Australian culture. They want to see things like the Olgas, the Great Barrier Reef and Kangaroos hopping down a dirt road. But the truth is, Australia’s metropolitan areas have just as much beauty and are just as exciting. One of the most beautiful areas to visit is the Southeastern coast of Queensland, more specifically Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Brisbane is a very large tropical paradise with almost 2 million residents. With a very warm climate and beautiful weather, Brisbane is a destination of choice for many people who visit Australia. There are many attractions to see and many different ways to soak in the Australian culture. Why not rent a bike for the day and ride around the almost 30 km of dedicated bike trails that follow the Brisbane river? If that’s not your thing, head over to the botanical gardens and check out the beautiful and colorful plants they have. Do you like wildlife? Take a trip to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, the first of it’s kind anywhere in the world. Not matter what your interests are, Brisbane has something that will keep you amused.
It does not take that long to travel from Brisbane down to the Gold Coast. All you have to do is hop in a car or on a bus, and take a very short trip south.
The Gold Coasts largest attraction are its beaches. Meticulously groomed and always busy with beautiful people, the beaches are a great place to relax all day, work on your tan, and even go surfing. There is nothing like spending time in the nice, warm sun, splashing around in the water and forgetting about the stressful life that awaits you when your vacation is done.
After a day of hanging out on the beach, the Gold Coasts many incredible restaurants and lounges are a great way to finish off the day. With so many
different choices, you’re sure to find something you like. From traditional Australian food, to Asian fusion, and upscale French restaurants, The Gold Coast has it all. Don’t worry about finding a place to stay overnight. The Gold Coast has many trendy hotels in many different price ranges that will definitely satisfy your needs.
