Just 50 miles (80km) south of Brisbane, the Gold Coast is world famous as a tourist destination - and it is small wonder why! If you like sun, surf and apparently endless golden beaches then you'll love the Gold Coast of Australia.

The Gold Coast is a kaleidoscope of coastal resorts, stunning islands and magnificent beaches where the transparent blue of the warm pacific ocean gently breaks onto pristine white sands. The climate of this popular area of the Sunshine State is almost perfect all year round, with an average of 245 days of fine weather each year and daytime temperatures above 22 degrees for 279 days a year.
