| THEME PARKS-The big four, which you've probably heard of, are Dreamworld, Sea World, Movie World and Wet'n'Wild, but there are quite a few more. Pat a koala, watch some outback horsemen and woman race around a stadium, mingle with the native birds |
|
| The Gold Coast is a dedicated tourist town and there's enough things to do to keep you occupied for months. It's not just mini-golf and wax museums either; take a tour of the river and canals in an aqua-bus, head up in a hot air balloon or learn to surf |
 |
| BOAT CRUISES-With more canals than Venice, a gorgeous river and a broadwater that will take you all the way to Brisbane, getting around the Gold Coast on a boat is one of the nicest way to see things. Choose from a party cruise, intimate gondola or anything in between |
 |
| SCENIC DRIVES-Winding through the hinterland are some of the most scenic drives in the country, and if you follow the beachside routes and coastal roads south to Byron Bay you'll discover the alure of the Northern NSW coastline |
 |
| GOLF-The Gold Coast has more golf courses per head of population than anywhere else in the world. No matter what your handicap, or budget, you'll find somewhere to have a round |
 |
| FISHING-The continental shelf isn't far of shore and there are hundreds of creeks, estuaries, lakes and rivers to throw a line in, so if you can't catch something on the Gold Coast, you've probably lost your hook |
