Australian Gold Love

Australian Gold Love

Where to live in Queensland?

I m looking to travel around Australia for 2 months and live and work in one area for 3 months... I was thinking somewhere on the gold coast... but i want to stay away from the typical tourists and get more of the true Australian life. I m going from april to august so i want stay in queensland for some heat... because its "winter". There are too many places to choose from so i need some insight.

Where should an outgoing girl who loves the ocean live in australia? and everywhere is not the answer

Well if you want to experience real Australian life avoid the Gold Coast. Over the years it has become highly commercialised and there are now almost more tourists than locals. Don't get me wrong, we Aussies still go there in droves for holidays (particularly Victorians in winter who are escaping the cold) but for a true experience I agree with some of the postings below.

Start in Brisbane. We Brisbane's are very friendly people. April is still pretty warm but winter temps here are fantastic...average 22 degrees during the day. You can do day trips to both the Gold & Sunshine Coasts from Brisbane and take in all the attractions.

After that if you can afford it you should look at hiring a car and driving north. I would recommend visiting Agnes Water/Town of 1770 (really nice, not to touristy) before heading to Mackay the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands. From here you can head up to Airlie Beach (very touristy but a good young crowd and lots of fun) before hitting Townsville & Cairns for the Barrier Reef. Cairns itself is very touristy (particularly Japanese to whom the place is set up to cater for) but its a great spot.

By driving though you can take your time and spend days in lots of little spots along the way. Be warned though its 1700 kilometres from Brisbane to Cairns so its a long haul if you are used to driving long distances but as long as you take it steady you will have a great time!

I would suggest Googling some of the spots I have mentioned for more indepth info

Enjoy your stay!

Australian Gold Coast Offers More Than Just the Surfers a Paradise

There is no puzzle as to why Surfers Paradise, which is part of the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia is such a popular holiday destination. After all, it is the entertainment and glam capital of the island that is ‘Down Under’, and epitomizes that perfect marriage of city and beach lifestyle.

But it’s the eclecticism of Surfers (as it is affectionately referred to in Australian vernacular) that attracts people from all walks of life. There are activities and events to cater and appease everyone, from families to backpackers, schoolies (young adults who have just finished high school), singles, surfers, honeymooners and retirees. It is home to a host of theme parks and national parks including, Dreamworld, Wet’n’Wild Water World, Warner Bros Movie World, Adrenalin Park, the Australian Outback Spectacular and Fleays Wildlife Park. There are about 53 different tours to choose from, ranging from whale watching to scenic hinterland day tours.

Accommodation options are plentiful, ranging from youth hostels to 5-star hotels. Since there’s so much to do within a limited amount of time, choosing the right location will help. For example, the A1 Crown Towers is located right in the heart of Surfers Paradise and within walking distance to the city center and beaches.

Like most tourist destinations, Surfers Paradise offers a vibrant and varied nightlife that caters to all crowds. To start, Melba’s Restaurant and Nightclub is a great place to dine and dance, with a clientele of all ages. The Rose & Crown, Cocktails & Dreams and The Drink are recommended places for people who love to dance, and for those who prefer to lounge out and chit-chat with a cocktail in hand, My Bar is just that type of place.

And gourmands should be impressed by the variety of cuisines to choose from. Cafes and restaurants line the streets and hotels, offering world class dining experiences. One restaurant currently making waves is Absynthe, where 2-star Michelin Chef Meyjitte Boughenout plates up exciting contemporary French and Australian creations to complement a 600+ wine list.

Shoppers will also be in paradise. Believe it or not, Surfers is the only 7-day, late night shopping district in Queensland, with 14 shopping centers and arcades, offering both retail and duty free shopping. Those keen on a more local experience, should head over to the Beachfront Markets which open every Wednesday and Friday from 5:30-10:00pm.

Indeed, there is something for everyone that visits the paradise that is known as Surfers on Australia’s Gold Coast. The weather is subtropical year-round, it is within close proximity to Brisbane airport (just one hour’s drive) and is about as tourist-friendly as an Australian city can be. For more information about this bronzed Queensland town, go to the official Surfers Paradise website.
