What can I see in Queensland?

The Gold Coast/Surfers Paradise

Surfers Paradise
There are 30-something kilometres of golden sand stretching from the eastern Queensland-New South Wales border in the south to Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise and the Stradbroke islands in the north. They use the terms Gold Coast or Surfers (short for Surfers Paradise) interchangeably; but that strip of golden land is really the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise is just one of the towns (but a mighty lively town) which dot the shoreline of the Pacific. This is a holiday mecca for Australians and visitors and is particularly popular in the winter when the cold hits the lower third of Australia. But it is in the summer when many low-cost holiday deals are available, except during the Christmas season and long holiday weekends. The Gold Coast has very much a cosmopolitan air and the lifestyle is easy. There are restaurants of many types, nightclubs, leisure complexes, and other centres of holiday fun, all along the coastal strip. The number of theme parks alone is enough to fill a vacationer's week
