• The Gold Coast is one of the most popular
  destinations for those travelling to Australia -
  and for good reason! While you could spend
  several days or more exploring the many
  attractions and highlights that include Gold
  Coast activities for the entire family, sometimes
  you have much less time than you'd hoped.

• But, just because you will only have a day or two
  in the Gold Coast, doesn't mean you can't get a
  great sense of the area and everything it has to
  offer. Here are some of the top attractions that
  every visit should include

Soak Up Some Sun at Surfers Paradise

• This isn't one of the most iconic beaches in the
  world for no reason! Every year, tourists flock
  to the famed Surfers Paradise to sunbathe, surf
  and relax on the beautiful sandy coast. Ask
  anyone, and they'll tell you that one of the most
  fun things to do on the Gold Coast is to try your
  hand at surfing.

5

• There are loads of surfing experts offering
  lessons on the beach, so grab a board and catch a
  wave! This is also a great area to try some
  delicious food and to do some shopping as there
  are many restaurants and shops that line the
  beach.

Get Up Close to Local Wildlife

• If you're interested in seeing and learning about
  some of the native Australian wildlife, there's
  no better place than Currumbin Wildlife
  Sanctuary. No matter you're age, you will marvel
  at the chance to see native species like
  kangaroos and koalas, or the lorikeets which were
  the reason the park was founded in the first
  place.

7

• Drop by and take part in the lorikeet feeding,
  wander the beautiful grounds to see interesting
  wildlife and plants, or stop to see one of the
  many fun shows offered at the Sanctuary.

Check Out the Rainforests

• The Gold Coast boasts incredible scenery and the
  opportunity to hike and explore natural
  landscapes that you just won't find anywhere else
  in the world. If you've always wanted to take a
  walk through a rainforest, don't miss the
  opportunity to explore Lamington National Park.

• Take the eco tour to the World Heritage listed
  rainforests and enjoy an exciting walk along the
  canopy on a treetop walk.

• If you've got to take a whirlwind trip to the
  Gold Coast, these are certainly some of the
  highlights, and offer a good sense of what's made
  the area so famous and a popular destination for
  locals and foreign travellers alike.
