After leaving Brisbane in July 2012 our next stop was Surfers Paradise on the beautiful Gold Coast.
Before heading to Surfers we had been told a few negative things and even to not bother going there. However, it had always been on our itinerary and we wanted to experience it for ourselves.
We travelled from South Bank to Surfers via train, with a bus connection.
As we had been working whilst in Brisbane we had some $ saved and splashed out to stay in a hotel, rather than staying in shared accommodation.
Surfers is a great holiday town. Loads of bars, clubs, restaurants & shops and miles of beautiful beaches.
Contemplation on the sand dunes at Main Beach......
Q1 Tower by night
Surfers is also home to the Q1tower, the tallest building in Australia measuring 1,058 ft
tall. The tower has amazing views of the Gold coast and lots of
information regarding the history of Surfers Paradise and its heyday
in the 1960's. Even though I despise heights,I braved the tower, just for the
view and even managed to walk along the glass blocks on the outer edge of the
building.
As we were nearby we had to visit Dreamworld, the largest theme park in OZ. Awesome rides, and even an animal park with kangaroos and koalas =)
We had a great few days in Surfer Paradise, and even saw a few meter maids!
Now onto Byron Bay......
