Sample various cuisines in any of hundreds of restaurants and cafes. Then shop till you drop at boutique stores, malls and night markets. Should you find yourself lost, maybe the bikini-clad meter maids can point your way back to the action! South of Surfers Paradise is Broadbeach where one encounters Kurrawa Park, and Jupiter’s Casino. If you’re lucky, you may even chance upon a lifesavers competition right on the beach.

Bordering New South Wales and Queensland is Coolangata, home to some of Gold Coast’s breathtaking beaches. Then also at the southern end, nature lovers will be thrilled at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for its vast array of attractions. But for more captivating sceneries and raw adventures, the Hinterlands offer a most spectacular time to admire the well-preserved flora and fauna and the whole ecosystem in the area.

Also for this month, the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show brings out boats of all shapes and sizes for a spectacular showcase on water. Finally, the very prestigious Prime Minister’s Cup presents horseracing at its best in Gold Coast.

Springtime kicks into gear with Indy 300 cranking up the streets of Gold Coast with high-octane energy.
