About travel and more. Australia - gold coast

Gold Coast - luxury resort Australia, annually attracting about 3 million tourists a year from all over the mainland and beyond. Many believe that its name gold coast received thanks to the longest beaches with golden sand, but they are wrong. The South Coast was first called the "Gold Coast" by a Brisbane newspaper in the late 1940s. It was then that a sharp jump in real estate prices took place on the coast, instantly attracting the attention of speculators and making this place a very profitable resort.

Capital of the Gold Coast Surfers Paradise – real paradise for surfers. This place received its status as the capital thanks to Jim Cavil, who built the hotel of the same name here in 1925. Then Alston (as Surfers Paradise was called in those days) lived by mining timber, growing sugar cane and cotton. Cavill, along with other residents of the city, achieved the assignment of a new name to Elston, and did everything to develop tourism here.

The Gold Coast is located half an hour from Brisbane and is a kind of island. From the south, washed by the ocean, from the north, the coast is, as it were, “cut off” from the mainland by the Nerang River. 30 km. endless beaches and coastal resort areas, entertainment centers and shops make the Gold Coast a tourist paradise.

However, only very wealthy people can live here, the population of the Gold Coast is only 310 thousand people, most of the people walking along the Coast are tourists enjoying a great vacation.

But not only golden sands, bright sun and good wave attract tourists to the Gold Coast. Dozens of man-made sights are the object of interest for many travelers. The brightest of them are the World of the Sea, the World of Dreams, the World of Cinema, the World of Tropical Fruits, the Water Park, national park Lamington, Ripley's Museum "Believe it or not," Quirky Amusement Park.

sea ​​world ( sea ​​world) is the largest oceanarium in the world that studies underwater life. Performances of fur seals, killer whales and dolphins, shows on the water will impress neither adults nor children. The park shows films with 3D images that tell about a variety of events related to the sea: naval battles, the life of prehistoric marine life, documentaries about animals. More than a dozen interesting rides and a small cozy water park with a swimming pool make Sea World one of the most popular amusement parks on the Coast.

Dream World - Huge amusement park covering an area of ​​85 hectares. Here are rides that are popular back in old Australia, and modern, breathtaking rides. For example, the attraction "Tower of Terror", where you can experience the feeling of free flight with flips from a hundred meters high at a speed of 160 km/h. There are about a dozen different themed "worlds" in Dream World. One of the worlds called "World wildlife”, is a eucalyptus forest where you can take pictures with a koala in your arms and feed a real kangaroo. The park has a functioning old steamboat, a site railway with a 19th century train, a pirate ship and a cable car.

Infinity is a state-of-the-art virtual attraction that puts you inside a huge maze-computer, where your main task is to find an exit in absolute darkness. The picture is complemented by a lot of multi-colored flickering lights, mirrors and music forcing the atmosphere.

The climate of the Gold Coast is warm, subtropical. There is no winter as such. In summer, the average temperature is 28 degrees Celsius, in winter about 20 degrees, and rarely drops to 18. best time the time from May to October is considered to be visited, but even during the Australian winter the coast is filled with tourists and vacationers from all over the world.

Have you been to this place and blogged about it?

Paradise Country Aussie Farm

The Paradise Country Aussie Farm itself is small, but equipped in such a way that you can “walk in circles” for a long time from one thematic area to another, plus each of them has some kind of attraction show at a certain time.

Currumbin & Palm Beach

Gold Coast located 75 kilometers south of Brisbane, but most people who do not have their own transport travel to Nerang station and take a bus to Surfers Paradise. Once upon a time, our exploration of the Gold Coast just began with Surfers Paradise - the absolute center of beach recreation and entertainment.

We did go to the Currumbin Zoo on the Gold Coast last Wednesday. This is our second visit there and this time I liked the zoo more, which is easily explained by the smaller number of people who are hungry for at least one eye to look at real Australian animals.

Whale Watching from Gold Coast

The decision to go on Whale Watching, or a sea excursion that allows you to look at the whales that sailed to the east coast of Australia, was spontaneous. We thought it would be a great time for our guests and we would be interested too. We arrived at the Gold Coast, bought tickets and boarded the boat in anticipation of a miracle.

Conquered Q1

“Conquered”, of course, sounds very pathetic for taking a high-speed elevator in 43 seconds to the 77th floor of the tallest residential building in Australia. It is there, at an altitude of 230 meters above the main beach of Gold Costa Surfers Paradise, that observation platform, which offers a breathtaking panorama of the best resort on our green continent. It is from here that the photos that many people meditate on while waiting for an Australian visa are taken.

This past weekend, just after Daisy Hill Park, we drove further south from Brisbane straight into the ocean at its best. We headed for Surfers Paradise, although, to be honest, we were not particularly prepared in terms of exactly where to stay, what to see and what to do. We decided that we would come and find out on the spot.

Koala hunting part three

At the request of the workers and spurred on by their own curiosity as well as the crushing weight of unfinished business, today they drove back to the Gold Coast in the places of Coolangatta and Broad Beach and found the two remaining koalas - a participant in the Gold Coast Sculpture Trail charity art project " Animal attitude".

Koala hunting part two

This weekend the quest continued, once again we covered the 90 kilometers south of Brisbane in order to catch the remaining koalas scattered in the middle part of the Gold Koala Coast Sculpture Trail in Palm Beach, Burleigh Heads and Robina.

Koala hunting

The Gold Coast Tourism Department, with the support of the local organization Swell Foundation and the charity Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, organized a rather unusual event to raise funds for the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Animal Hospital - these guys take care of wild animals, crippled for example on roads, primarily koalas and they recently lost financial support from the Queensland government.

The Gold Coast, a city of stunning beauty, is known as one of the largest tourist centers Australia and he instantly sunk into my soul. During the short time spent in Australia, we managed to visit the Gold Coast twice, and we want to return there again and again ...

V8 Supercar Championship

This year, for the first time in my life, I attended an event called "Real Racing". Since childhood, I have been very passionate about everything that is somehow connected with cars, but I have not been to real races until now. So, I visited the V8 Supercar Championship at Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast.

The easiest way to get from Brisbane to Goldcoast is by train. The line that connects the city to the airport extends to Goldcoast. The ticket is quite expensive (like any transport in Australia) - about $ 28 if you use a GoCard, or about $ 35 if you pay in cash. So in half an hour the train drove me from the center of Brisbane to the Nerang station and another twenty minutes by bus to the Surfer Paradise area.

gold coast. Winter.

I like the Australian, well, perhaps to be more precise - the Queensland winter is one of the best times of the year in the subtropical southeastern corner of the state, where its capital is located - this is a dry season, with a lot of clear sunny days, comfortable + 20-25 days and a light breeze from the Pacific.

Currumbin Sanctuary

For six months, we have been to the nursery or zoo for the third time. We came across a clearing of kangaroos. First, they “stand in line” to 3 unfortunate people, who were surrounded by a crowd of people, and then they realized that they were just those who had strayed from the herd and there were so many of them that they couldn’t overfeed everyone! What they just do not go for the sake of sweets.

Sea World Amusement Park

The road to the park took about 20 minutes. There was a queue at the entrance, but not crazy. This park consists of several lagoons where dolphins live. There is also a large lake with a pirate ship on which performances are held. Somehow we arrived at the wrong time: one performance had already ended, and the next was not to start soon.

Gold Coast / Brisbane

Upon arrival at the hotel, it turned out that no one knew about our reservation there and all the rooms were occupied. By five in the evening they found a room for us, and although it was 2 times less than what we paid for, we had nowhere to go. Well, at least room movies were made free for us, and thanks for that.

Vacation at the end of spring

Gold Coast - Velvet Season

So I reached my report on our spring vacation until the time when many in Australia decided on the planning of the autumn Easter weekend. After all, everything is done in advance.

Like a meteor, the hot Australian summer swept by, which even managed to tire. As a general rule, the Australian summer gradually transitions to when it becomes pleasantly cool at night, which heralds autumn. The water in the ocean is warm, and habitable East Coast boasts filled beaches. But the star is still Gold Coast where the velvet season begins in March. Already annotated entertainment programs at this time, hotel prices have dropped slightly, because this is the time of rest for Australians.

The Velvet season- conditional name of one of the most favorable periods for recreation and pastime of a person in subtropical conditions, in particular, in conditions mediterranean climate. During the velvet season, it is not as hot as, for example, in the summer in July, but it is still quite warm, including at night. In more northern latitudes, where a temperate climate prevails, Indian summer is an analogue of the velvet season. At the beginning of the 20th century, several spring weeks were called the velvet season, but already before the revolution, the name began to mean the autumn months, September-October.

The above statement refers to the changing seasons of the northern hemisphere. September-October, as the time of the velvet season, is good for the Crimea, Black Sea coast, Turkey, Mediterranean countries. For Australia, the mild onset of autumn falls in March-April.

It is at this time that you can enjoy the gentle sun and warm ocean, visit national parks and zoos with exotic flora and fauna, as well as world-famous amusement parks. Those. "catch the summer by the tail."

If you notice, then we always try to take a vacation in the spring, somewhere in late August - early September, when there is no school holidays when resorts and tourist places still just “waking up” from the winter calm. Maybe the golden sand is not as warm as in autumn. Maybe the ocean is cool and the wind carries a pleasant breeze. Maybe the beach is still empty, but it's so nice.

As you understand, my time of the velvet season is the beginning of spring. For you, who live in the northern hemisphere, it is just the time to take care of planning your vacation to Australia at this time, booking a hotel or apartment for a vacation, buying tickets for excursions that will now cost less.

Australia is not a cheap country, so I always advise you to look for ways to save money - buy tickets electronically, use sites with discounts on tickets and excursions, book accommodation not for 1-2 days, but for 3-7 days, calculate the distance of accommodation and transport.

Those who travel around Australia, like us, prefer to minimize their living costs by staying in campsites, traveling in campervans, taking advantage of the opportunity to exchange houses, renting apartments for short periods through Holiday Rentals or Stayz.

Back in the first post of the report () I touched on the description of the most popular areas where you can stay. I also want to draw your attention to the area Southport from which you can get to the beaches by tram in 5 minutes, and if you get bored, you can take a train to Brisbane. Southport is considered the administrative center of the city, so there are food courts and shopping centers.

The beginning of the Australian spring is a calm, quiet time to relax on Gold Coast. The time when in a sparsely populated town you can simply contemplate the beauty that surrounds you, breathe the sea air, look at the waves rolling on the shore, which penetrate the sun's rays, and they, sparkling, heaving and foaming, roll onto a huge gently sloping beach, creating only background noise. It’s like a shell is near your ear, and you closed your eyes and flew away from the fuss that got you.

The coast itself is a strip sandy beach, built up with "skyscrapers" and "high-rise buildings" along the coast along one street stretching from north to south (Gold Coast Hwy). On one side of this street is the Pacific Ocean and the beaches. On the other side of the same street, the Nerang river flows parallel to the coastline, creating a huge network of canals, lakes and islands with private villas and cottages of 2-3 floors. Almost all of these villas have their own berth on the canal (or lake) on the one hand, and the entrance gate overlooks a dead-end street closed from prying eyes, on the other hand. On the sides - the same neighbors with yachts and garages for 3-4 cars. The entrance to each street is monitored around the clock by video surveillance cameras. Entire urban areas (Broadbeach Waters, Mermaid Waters, Clear Island Waters, Paradise Waters, and etc.) are covered by this network of canals and islets. Between the "villas and the ocean" - a street with skyscrapers.

Despite the constant construction, the city has a developed social infrastructure. Here is one of the most prestigious private universities (Bond University) in Australia, all major trading systems.

Flight

The Gold Coast can be reached through two airports: international in Brisbane and local in the Kullangatta area. The airport in Brisbane is about an hour from the Gold Coast (about 75 km). Kullangatta also has a small airport located in the southern part of the Gold Coast, about 25 minutes from the city center. Currently, there is a rapid construction aimed at increasing the local airport to the international level.

Climate

Average air temperature: December-February +21..+29°С, March-May +17..+26°С, June-August +15..+20°С, September-November +14..+24°С WITH.

The Gold Coast is the largest resort center throughout Australia and one of the most popular in the world. It is located in southern Queensland, on the Pacific coast. It is called "the gate to the Great barrier reef” and is considered the starting point for everyone who decides to go to the tropical north of the country. The Gold Coast (translated as the Gold Coast) is not only a resort, but also a dynamic city with a population of about 500,000 inhabitants, who, like anywhere else in Australia, belong to different races and religions, and come from different parts of the world.

In the southern part of the Gold Coast is Kolangata International Airport, which is considered the fifth busiest in
continent. If you travel to the Gold Coast the best option since you land at the resort itself, but of course there are also other possibilities. Brisbane International Airport is the closest outside the Gold Coast and the best solution if for any reason you cannot fly to the Gold Coast. The distances are really small. Practically Brisbane and the Gold Coast are almost connected, and as a result of the large influx of visitors, air travel to these airports is a regular out of many different countries. If you come, then most likely at any time of the year you will be met by sunny and warm weather. The climate of the Gold Coast is considered one of the best in the world and is very similar to that of canary islands. Summers are very warm with temperatures around 28°C, while winters are almost the same as in Gran Canaria and Tenerife - around 21°C during the day. Winter nights, however, can get chilly, so it's best to wear a coat at night.
Precipitation is moderate throughout the year, but decreases slightly in winter. In general, at any time of the year summer clothes must be present in your baggage. The distance from the international airport in Brisbane to that in the Gold Coast is just over 60 kilometers. The city is the sixth largest city in the country and second only to Brisbane in the state of Queensland. The city's revenues come almost entirely from a heavily developed tourism industry. Prior to their arrival, visitors should bear in mind that there are not many historical monuments here, because the city is too young. This, however, does not prevent it from being very beautiful with a modern and harmonious architecture that catches the eye easily.
Of course, the first thing that will impress you upon entering the Gold Coast is how beautiful, clean and orderly the city is. But it will take at least a few days to fully feel the local atmosphere. And here Indeed, believe me, there is something to see. On the streets you will see hundreds of restaurants, shops and cafes waiting to be found and are without a doubt some of the best in Australia. Diversity national cuisine huge. But, perhaps, it is better to choose a place that offers seafood - this is one of the countries in the world where you could taste the highest quality seafood. Some of the more famous restaurants that serve seafood are Georges Paragon, Holy Mackerel Restaurant, The Flying Squid Coolangatta, but of course there are many others that we won't list because hardly anyone will have the patience and time to read the names of all the good restaurants in tourist capital Australia. And suddenly, when you are walking along the busy streets of the Gold Coast, you are already there - more than 30 km of fine golden sand, surfers, a sense of spaciousness and clear waters ocean. ocean waves often very large, as there are no coral reefs to break them. For this reason, there are always crowds of young and not so young visitors who surf to the ocean. It's actually one of the best surf spots on the planet along with Sydney, Hawaii, South Africa and more. It's no coincidence that one of the most popular parts of the city is called Surfers Paradise. The Gold Coast is an exceptionally modern city, which, with its extensive beach and high-rise
buildings along the coast somehow reminds of the famous American metropolis of Miami or the Brazilian Rio de Janeiro, although there is no such concentration of people here. Along the coast of the Gold Coast rise exclusively modern skyscrapers. Most of them, unlike other large cities, are not business buildings, but are designed for housing and hotel functions. Among them is one of the most tall buildings on the continent - Q1. This skyscraper rises to about 323 meters. In fact, it is the tallest residential building on the planet. The view from the top of this building is amazing. From here you can see everything for tens of kilometers, especially in clear weather, and not one or two postcards from the Gold Coast were photographed from here. Here, a view of the Pacific Ocean is worth a lot of money. This is also the main reason for high-rise construction in
sea ​​coast. The Gold Coast has one characteristic feature, namely that it is very reminiscent of Venice with its many canals. It also turned out to be the best solution to the issue of water access to the ocean, even for people who live in remote places. Interestingly, the image in which the city was built makes it possible to get by boat or yacht to almost every point. Almost all Gold Coast residents live near one of the many canals. Dozens and even hundreds of channels are part of the Nerang River. It originates from the mountains southwest of the city. The main attractions of the city include the museum wax figures, although if you have visited Madame Tussauds, this is unlikely to impress you much here. However, the Gold Coast has other advantages as well. beautiful beach, beautiful nature and opportunities to practice various types sports.
The city is truly known as a Mecca for sports lovers. Here, even people aged 80 years old dress like a youth and go skating and skateboarding. The city hosts numerous sporting events, cycling championships and more, but the city is best known for its excellent surfing conditions. Leading Gold Coast Destinations for Golfers as well - Helensvale Golf Club, Gold Coast Country Club, Parkwood International Golf Course, Emerald Lakes Golf Club, Palm Meadows Golf Course and Resort, Radisson Family Resort Accommodation and Sea Food Restaurant, Surfers Paradise Golf Club, Burleigh Golf Club Course, Springbrook Golf Course, etc. There are plenty of amusement parks on the Gold Coast where you can have fun. Some of the more popular parks are Dream world, where in addition to riding the Sunday train and the carousel, you can also see kangaroos, tigers and other wild animals.
animals. The Kurumbin reserve is also not to be missed. Here you will see crocodiles, kangaroos, eagles, reptiles and much more. Dense greenery is a great way to escape the tropical heat. A wonderful place where you can touch nature without leaving the cosmopolitan city is David Fleay Wildlife Park. The place is ideal for relaxing, here you can enjoy nature undisturbed by the huge crowd of tourists in the resort town. In the southwest of the Gold Coast, you will find yourself in the amazingly beautiful tropical nature of South Queensland. It is home to Nicole Scrub National Park, Tommyween Park, Springbrook National Park, and perhaps the most beautiful of all, Lamington National Park. There are also dense and exceptionally beautiful tropical forests, where lush moisture-loving vegetation has found excellent conditions for life. In the forests you will find a wide variety of marsupials, reptiles, amphibians, birds and strange and rather large insects. Numerous waterfalls flow in the forest, which are great place for rest for everyone who went out into the forest for a walk. The greenery and the altitude, which often exceeds 1000 m, are the ideal solution for getting away from the heat on the coast. local forests a bit cooler than usual, but that makes them even more enjoyable to scroll through and explore. At ten kilometers west of the Gold Coast are botanical gardens, which are located in the suburb of Eagle Heights - this is really an ideal place for walks in nature. It should be recalled here that Queensland is the realm of poisonous plants and animals. Don't forget this and be careful. Many rare Australian species are found in the forests. Do not miss the opportunity to visit a local consultant who will help you learn more about the advantages and dangers of this place.
It doesn't even make sense to comment on the possibilities for placement, because they are unlimited. You can stay in hotels of any class and category, villas, private houses and apartments, and many others. The price at which you can rent an apartment varies greatly, but most often around $200-250 per week (or about $1,000 per month). For the price, it is often more important not how the apartment is furnished, but where it is located - close to the coast, whether there is a panoramic view, etc. Of course, the prices on the first line near the beach are the highest.
