PLACES TO VISIT 

Gold Coast Hinterland
The Gold Coast is a place of wonderful contrast and complement. Journey through a patchwork of rural plantations, vineyards, farmland and livestock estates on the way to more than 100,000 hectares of National Parks and reserves, networked with miles of enchanting bushwalking trails. Quiet country roads, just 30 minutes from the beaches, lead into canyons and valleys with their hidden secrets of natural wonders.

Main Beach, Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach
Just across the river from Southport lies Main Beach, one of the Gold Coast’s most adored districts. Blessed with café lined boulevards and boutique shopping and all within a short strut of the celebrated sands of the beach. Main Beach offers a vista of multi-million dollar elegance as the calm water area hosts an array of extraordinary vessels and unrivalled residences.
And a just a short stroll south is Surfers Paradise, the playground of the Gold Coast, featuring an abundance of memorable experiences set amid a spectacular skyline and brilliant stretch of coast. To gain a truly unique perspective on this city centre, venture over to the world’s tallest residential apartment building. Topping 80 levels and with a visitor observation lounge on the 78th floor, it is a great way to enjoy the beauty of the Gold Coast and beyond.
Then there’s Broadbeach, one of Queensland’s most plentiful shopping districts. Many of the Gold Coast’s most modern dining establishments and premier nightlife venues are based in the Broadbeach precinct, giving the area a contemporary feel and an absolutely distinctive style.
