WE LOVE THE GC.
We might be biased, but we think we live in the best place on planet Earth. So if you’re not from around here, why not plan a visit... there is plenty to do! The city consists of 57 kilometres of coastline with some of the most popular surf breaks in Australia. In fifty years, Gold Coast City has grown from a small beachside holiday destination to Australia's sixth largest city. Situated within South East Queensland’s growth corridor, the city is now Australia’s fastest growing large city, and you can see why!

4 CHEER ON A LOCAL TEAM
A day at the footy, rugby, basketball or ironman contest is a great way to keep the whole family entertained. The Titans and the Blaze both turned two in their respective codes this season.

5 DISCOVER THE HINTERLAND
The Hinterland is often forgotten in the glam of the Gold Coast. Up in the hills, though, the Coast can actually be very charming and totally refreshing.
