• Australias Gold Coast is a veritable gold
  mine of activity. If youre planning to holiday
  there, then plan to do a lot, because theres no
  shortage of things to do and attractions to see.
  Excitement, fun and intrigue can be found all
  over the coast, including hanging out at the

  Rainbow Lorikeets at the wildlife sanctuary.

Chill at the Beach

• The Gold Coast is famous for its beaches,
  which are only enhanced by picturesque coastlines
  and mild weather that lasts all year-round. You
  can use a jet ski to zip around Broadwater Beach
  and check out their sand bars, snorkel at
  Currumbin Creek or surf and paddle board at
  Rainbow Bay. If you like the ocean, then you can
  go out for a swim or take a boat out for some
  dolphin and whale watching.

Do Some Shopping

• There are plenty of shopping centres on the
  Gold Coast, such as Harbour Town, Pacific Fair,
  Robina Town Centre and a variety of smaller
  centres. Harbour Town is great if youre shopping
  on a budget. It features mostly outlet stores, so
  its perfect for frugal fashionistas.

• Pacific Fair and Robina Town are also great
  if youre on a budget. Plus, they offer many
  places to eat and entertainment options, such as
  high-tech movie theatres. Some of the smaller
  centres that are also fun and great for those on
  a budget, include Thomas Drive, James Street and
  Surf Parade.

Have Fun at a Theme Park

• Theme parks are fun, and the Gold Coast has
  some of the most fun parks in Australia. Parks,
  such as Movie World, Wet 'n' Wild, Sea World,
  Dreamworld and Warner Bros. offer exciting
  rollercoasters, shows, movie experiences and
  adventures. Plus, a multi-park pass can be used
  at multiple parks, so no worrying about finding,
  losing or purchasing passes.

Eat Well

• Like all great holiday spots, the Gold Coast
  has a booming food scene. Best of all, you dont
  need a champagne budget to enjoy it. The food
  scene is hot almost everywhere along the coast.
  For example, you can find unique and tasty food
  at any market, like Bundall Farmers Markets,
  Miami Marketta or Helensvales NightQuarter.

• Besides that, the coastline is bustling with
  a growing café scene that offers a laid-back
  atmosphere and delicious, budget-friendly food.

• If youre looking for something more formal
  or just want to pamper yourself, then you should
  check out the fine dining scene on the Gold
  Coast. Places like, Broadbeach and Marina Mirage
  serve up gourmet meals and fresh seafood daily.

Visit the Wildlife Sanctuary

• Wildlife sanctuaries are peaceful,
  educational, intriguing, exciting and all around
  fun. And, if youre an animal lover, youll have
  a lot of fun at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.
  There are plenty of activities to do at the
  sanctuary, but few are as fun as interacting with
  the animals. You can hug a koala, feed a
  crocodile, play with a kangaroo or feed a Rainbow
  Lorikeet.

• Feeding the Rainbow Lorikeets is one of the
  biggest attractions at the sanctuary because the
  birds are so brightly colored and so friendly to
  the guests. Theyll land on the arms or head of
  almost anyone, and are so easy to interact with.
  Like most Gold Coast attractions, theyre truly a
  sight to behold.
