The Gold Coast is situated in South East Queensland, between the state's capital (Brisbane) and the New South Wales border. The coastal strip, which faces onto the Pacific Ocean, stretches for about fifty five kilometres and is blessed with very many long and sandy beaches. These are famous for the quality surfing, and most beaches are patrolled by life guards. Inland from the coast, the resort area includes the foothills of Australia's Great Dividing Range. The rain forest covered ranges here are popular with walkers, and are notable both for the beautiful scenery, and for the scientifically important wild life. The region is a World Heritage zone, and is the location of some of Australia's top national parks. Sports enthusiasts, both spectators and players, also find much of interest in Gold Coast. With over forty golf courses to choose from, any keen golfer will never find himself more than a few minutes car ride away from his next game. For professional sports fans there are four Gold Coast teams to follow. The area is represented at Australian national level in football, ice hockey, basketball and rugby league. The area is well served by online hotel price comparison and special deal websites, making it easy to compare prices and facilities, and to book online. One hotel offering a "red hot deal" online is the Couran Cove Island Resort, which is on South Stradbroke Island. The deal is for a minimum stay of three nights, and the second and third nights will be half price. The resort also include return ferry transfer to the island, a free room upgrade, and hire of a bike for exploring the island. South Stradbroke Island lies between Gold Coast Broadwater (and almost completely enclosed area of calm water), and the Pacific. Beaches on the Broadwater side of the island are quiet and calm, while on the Pacific side there are long surfing beaches. South Stradbroke Island has a varied coastal landscape: sand dunes, tropical forests and wetlands, and part of the island is a nature reserve. Agile and Golden Wallabies, which are quite tame around people, make their home here, but it is also not far from the busy suburb of Surfers Paradise, and from theme parks such as Sea World in nearby Southport, and Wet-n-Wild Water World in Oxenford. Across from South Stradbroke in places such as Biggera Waters and Paradise Point, there are many waterfront accommodations facing onto Broadwater. Broadwater is tidal water at the mouth of the Nerang, but sheltered from the Pacific. It opens to the Pacific through two channels, one north, and one south, of South Stradbroke Island. Beaches here are therefore more calm and quiet than those on the ocean. Bayview Beach in Biggera Waters is one option for accommodation here. Bayview Beach Holiday Apartments are two bedroomed self contained apartments with fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Most apartments have air conditioning, and the complex has a swimming pool and a secured parking area. Various special deals are available here with minimum stays ranging from two nights to seven nights.

The Gold Coast is situated in South East Queensland, between the state's capital (Brisbane) and the New South Wales border. The coastal strip, which faces onto the Pacific Ocean, stretches for about fifty five kilometres and is blessed with very many long and sandy beaches. These are famous for the quality surfing, and most beaches are patrolled by life guards. Inland from the coast, the resort area includes the foothills of Australia's Great Dividing Range. The rain forest covered ranges here are popular with walkers, and are notable both for the beautiful scenery, and for the scientifically important wild life. The region is a World Heritage zone, and is the location of some of Australia's top national parks. Sports enthusiasts, both spectators and players, also find much of interest in Gold Coast. With over forty golf courses to choose from, any keen golfer will never find himself more than a few minutes car ride away from his next game. For professional sports fans there are four Gold Coast teams to follow. The area is represented at Australian national level in football, ice hockey, basketball and rugby league. The area is well served by online hotel price comparison and special deal websites, making it easy to compare prices and facilities, and to book online. One hotel offering a "red hot deal" online is the Couran Cove Island Resort, which is on South Stradbroke Island. The deal is for a minimum stay of three nights, and the second and third nights will be half price. The resort also include return ferry transfer to the island, a free room upgrade, and hire of a bike for exploring the island. South Stradbroke Island lies between Gold Coast Broadwater (and almost completely enclosed area of calm water), and the Pacific. Beaches on the Broadwater side of the island are quiet and calm, while on the Pacific side there are long surfing beaches. South Stradbroke Island has a varied coastal landscape: sand dunes, tropical forests and wetlands, and part of the island is a nature reserve. Agile and Golden Wallabies, which are quite tame around people, make their home here, but it is also not far from the busy suburb of Surfers Paradise, and from theme parks such as Sea World in nearby Southport, and Wet-n-Wild Water World in Oxenford. Across from South Stradbroke in places such as Biggera Waters and Paradise Point, there are many waterfront accommodations facing onto Broadwater. Broadwater is tidal water at the mouth of the Nerang, but sheltered from the Pacific. It opens to the Pacific through two channels, one north, and one south, of South Stradbroke Island. Beaches here are therefore more calm and quiet than those on the ocean. Bayview Beach in Biggera Waters is one option for accommodation here. Bayview Beach Holiday Apartments are two bedroomed self contained apartments with fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Most apartments have air conditioning, and the complex has a swimming pool and a secured parking area. Various special deals are available here with minimum stays ranging from two nights to seven nights.

The Gold Coast is situated in South East Queensland, between the state's capital (Brisbane) and the New South Wales border. The coastal strip, which faces onto the Pacific Ocean, stretches for about fifty five kilometres and is blessed with very many long and sandy beaches. These are famous for the quality surfing, and most beaches are patrolled by life guards. Inland from the coast, the resort area includes the foothills of Australia's Great Dividing Range. The rain forest covered ranges here are popular with walkers, and are notable both for the beautiful scenery, and for the scientifically important wild life. The region is a World Heritage zone, and is the location of some of Australia's top national parks. Sports enthusiasts, both spectators and players, also find much of interest in Gold Coast. With over forty golf courses to choose from, any keen golfer will never find himself more than a few minutes car ride away from his next game. For professional sports fans there are four Gold Coast teams to follow. The area is represented at Australian national level in football, ice hockey, basketball and rugby league. The area is well served by online hotel price comparison and special deal websites, making it easy to compare prices and facilities, and to book online. One hotel offering a "red hot deal" online is the Couran Cove Island Resort, which is on South Stradbroke Island. The deal is for a minimum stay of three nights, and the second and third nights will be half price. The resort also include return ferry transfer to the island, a free room upgrade, and hire of a bike for exploring the island. South Stradbroke Island lies between Gold Coast Broadwater (and almost completely enclosed area of calm water), and the Pacific. Beaches on the Broadwater side of the island are quiet and calm, while on the Pacific side there are long surfing beaches. South Stradbroke Island has a varied coastal landscape: sand dunes, tropical forests and wetlands, and part of the island is a nature reserve. Agile and Golden Wallabies, which are quite tame around people, make their home here, but it is also not far from the busy suburb of Surfers Paradise, and from theme parks such as Sea World in nearby Southport, and Wet-n-Wild Water World in Oxenford. Across from South Stradbroke in places such as Biggera Waters and Paradise Point, there are many waterfront accommodations facing onto Broadwater. Broadwater is tidal water at the mouth of the Nerang, but sheltered from the Pacific. It opens to the Pacific through two channels, one north, and one south, of South Stradbroke Island. Beaches here are therefore more calm and quiet than those on the ocean. Bayview Beach in Biggera Waters is one option for accommodation here. Bayview Beach Holiday Apartments are two bedroomed self contained apartments with fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Most apartments have air conditioning, and the complex has a swimming pool and a secured parking area.

The Gold Coast is situated in South East Queensland, between the state's capital (Brisbane) and the New South Wales border. The coastal strip, which faces onto the Pacific Ocean, stretches for about fifty five kilometres and is blessed with very many long and sandy beaches. These are famous for the quality surfing, and most beaches are patrolled by life guards. Inland from the coast, the resort area includes the foothills of Australia's Great Dividing Range. The rain forest covered ranges here are popular with walkers, and are notable both for the beautiful scenery, and for the scientifically important wild life. The region is a World Heritage zone, and is the location of some of Australia's top national parks. Sports enthusiasts, both spectators and players, also find much of interest in Gold Coast.

These are famous for the quality surfing, and most beaches are patrolled by life guards. Inland from the coast, the resort area includes the foothills of Australia's Great Dividing Range. The rain forest covered ranges here are popular with walkers, and are notable both for the beautiful scenery, and for the scientifically important wild life. The region is a World Heritage zone, and is the location of some of Australia's top national parks. Sports enthusiasts, both spectators and players, also find much of interest in Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast is situated in South East Queensland, between the state's capital (Brisbane) and the New South Wales border. The coastal strip, which faces onto the Pacific Ocean, stretches for about fifty five kilometres and is blessed with very many long and sandy beaches. These are famous for the quality surfing, and most beaches are patrolled by life guards. Inland from the coast, the resort area includes the foothills of Australia's Great Dividing Range. The rain forest covered ranges here are popular with walkers, and are notable both for the beautiful scenery, and for the scientifically important wild life. The region is a World Heritage zone, and is the location of some of Australia's top national parks. Sports enthusiasts, both spectators and players, also find much of interest in Gold Coast. With over forty golf courses to choose from, any keen golfer will never find himself more than a few minutes car ride away from his next game. For professional sports fans there are four Gold Coast teams to follow. The area is represented at Australian national level in football, ice hockey, basketball and rugby league. The area is well served by online hotel price comparison and special deal websites, making it easy to compare prices and facilities, and to book online. One hotel offering a "red hot deal" online is the Couran Cove Island Resort, which is on South Stradbroke Island. The deal is for a minimum stay of three nights, and the second and third nights will be half price. The resort also include return ferry transfer to the island, a free room upgrade, and hire of a bike for exploring the island. South Stradbroke Island lies between Gold Coast Broadwater (and almost completely enclosed area of calm water), and the Pacific. Beaches on the Broadwater side of the island are quiet and calm, while on the Pacific side there are long surfing beaches. South Stradbroke Island has a varied coastal landscape: sand dunes, tropical forests and wetlands, and part of the island is a nature reserve. Agile and Golden Wallabies, which are quite tame around people, make their home here, but it is also not far from the busy suburb of Surfers Paradise, and from theme parks such as Sea World in nearby Southport, and Wet-n-Wild Water World in Oxenford. Across from South Stradbroke in places such as Biggera Waters and Paradise Point, there are many waterfront accommodations facing onto Broadwater. Broadwater is tidal water at the mouth of the Nerang, but sheltered from the Pacific. It opens to the Pacific through two channels, one north, and one south, of South Stradbroke Island. Beaches here are therefore more calm and quiet than those on the ocean. Bayview Beach in Biggera Waters is one option for accommodation here. Bayview Beach Holiday Apartments are two bedroomed self contained apartments with fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Most apartments have air conditioning, and the complex has a swimming pool and a secured parking area. Various special deals are available here with minimum stays ranging from two nights to seven nights.
