Gold Coast Australia<\/strong> has a reputation as the Southern Hemisphere\u2019s concrete Miami, with giant theme parks and endless skyscrapers\u2014and that reputation is certainly well earned. But just beyond the vibrant city lies a hinterland with two UNESCO-listed rainforests<\/strong>, where magical glow worms light up after dark and trees have stood for millennia. If you stick to the beach and never venture into the hills, you\u2019ll miss half the soul of this wonderful city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find an incredible contrast here that makes every day exciting. In the morning, stroll across the hot sand beneath the watchful eyes of surfers; in the afternoon, explore a rainforest; then spend the evening enjoying the excellent caf\u00e9 and food scene<\/strong> in one of the modern neighbourhoods. In a single day, you can have coffee by the ocean, scream your way around a roller coaster and finish with a rainforest walk beneath the glow worms. Not many places offer all that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pack comfortable shoes, your swimwear and a sense of adventure\u2014Gold Coast Australia<\/strong> has far more to offer than you might expect. From theme parks and spectacular rainforests to a warning about where you should never swim in the ocean<\/strong>, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
