A Trip to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

• If you're wondering what to do on the Gold
  Coast so that you can get up close and personal
  with some of the native wildlife, Currumbin
  Wildlife Sanctuary is a must-see.

• This sanctuary is home to one of the largest
  collections of Australian wildlife in the world,
  and offers many attractions, from crocodile
  feeding, and dingos to Tasmanian devils, free
  flight bird shows and more.

• Don't miss the chance to feed the lorikeets, too,
  something which takes place twice each day.

Surfers Paradise

• Even if you don't plan to surf, this incredible
  collection of beaches spans 70 km along the
  coast, and is definitely worth a visit. If you
  want to try surfing, there's plenty of
  opportunity, or you can simply pack a picnic and
  relax while watching potentially hundreds of
  surfers ride the waves.

Ancient Forests

• Many of the Gold Coast tourist attractions
  include dozens of national parks which protect
  some of the world's oldest forests. Walk through
  eucalyptus, see amazing waterfalls, and the
  former Mount Warming volcano. There's also ample
  opportunity to see some of the native wildlife.

Take a Dip

• There are many refreshing swimming holes where
  tourists and locals alike cool off on hot
  afternoons. Natural Bridge in Springbrook
  National Park is a treat, where water has tumbled
  through the roof of a cave for centuries,
  creating a remarkable swimming spot.

• Or, the Currumbin rock pools and waterfalls at
  Lamington National Park are also lovely.

Glow Worm Caves

• Take advantage of a visit to the Gold Coast
  Hinterland by checking out a Glow Worm Cave at
  Mt. Tamborine. Thousands of glow worms light up
  this guided underground tour that can be accessed
  from Cedar Creek Estate winery.

  or full day farm tour at Paradise Country. You'll
  be treated to some great food and music, too!

  Gold Coast wouldn't be complete without exploring
  some of the natural landscape and wildlife. There
  are many opportunities to see and experience all
  that this part of Australia is famous for.
