GOLD COAST HINTERLAND T H E

Just 30 minutes from the coast, the Green behind the Gold is untouched. Its lush beauty stretches as far as the eye can see and breathes in harmony with the pulse of the Pacific Ocean swells that pound our golden beaches. The Gold Coast Hinterland is equally perfect for a romantic escape or a nature-based adventure for family and friends. Be awestruck on bushwalks through subtropical rainforests that house living ancient relics and lava flows, crystal waterfalls cascading into rock pools and abundant native wildlife.
Due to its pristine condition and under-canopy diversity, the Hinterland’s national parks have been World Heritage listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). The area is a hotbed for the international science and conservation community which means you truly will explore one of the earth’s best eco-experiences.

Expansions to the system are being planned and built to integrate with other transport modes and provide a better-connected system for you. The G: arrives at each station every few minutes between 5am – midnight weekdays and 24 hours during weekends as part of an integrated public transport network for the Gold Coast, linking bus services east to west as well as to the south and north. Make a greener choice and make the G: your way to get around the busy suburbs of Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise and Southport.

GOLD COAST BEACHES
The Gold Coast name says it all – 70 kilometres of sun kissed sand stretching from Cabarita Beach and Fingal North to Main Beach and South Stradbroke Island.
COOLANGATTA To the south, Coolangatta is home to some of the region’s prettiest beaches. The rugged headland of Point Danger offers superb views – look for dolphins in the waters below. North-facing beaches Rainbow Bay and Greenmount are popular with families and there’s a pleasant walk linking the two beaches. Bistros and cafes are close by and you can browse through a regular market on the second Sunday of the month. Beaches to the south include Fingal with a wonderful lighthouse walk, Kingscliff and Cabarita Beach. Duranbah is a hot surfing spot.
KIRRA POINT Famous as
a board-riding beach, Kirra produces challenging waves for the experienced surfer. It’s a
130 | hellogoldcoast.com.au
great place to watch the experts at work. Hire a long board for the day or head for dive sites at Kirra and Cook Island.
CURRUMBIN – PALM BEACH
Gentle surf and small rock pools make Currumbin’s beaches a popular choice with families. Look out to sea to view Elephant Rock and Flat Rock or try fishing at picturesque Currumbin Creek. Capture spectacular scenes by camera or visit Rockview Public Park which offers views to Currumbin Alley and Currumbin Rock.
TALLEBUDGERA Just north of
Palm Beach, Tallebudgera has a choice of beaches – catch a wave ocean side or head to the still waters on Tallebudgera Creek estuary. Local parents use Tallebudgera’s protected areas to introduce their children to water safety.
BURLEIGH HEADS This gently curving beach is protected and offers magical views north to Surfers Paradise from Burleigh Headland. Distinctive pines and pandanus palms frame the beach and make the perfect place to cool off from strong midday sun. Burleigh Headland National Park follows the coastline. In times past, Aboriginal tribes feasted
at the headland and modern day travellers will still be stunned by its natural beauty. Famous for its tubular Burleigh Barrel waves, the beach is the venue for major surfing tournaments. There are two surf clubs, & a nearby shopping precinct.
BROADBEACH It is known for its
wide expanse of sandy beaches and adjoining parkland with picnic areas and playgrounds. Surf life saving is a focus on this fabulous beach which has been the home of the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships for 10 years. There’s a vibrant shopping and dining precinct and mall within metres of the beach area and regular beachfront craft markets on the first & third Sundays of each month.
SURFERS PARADISE Situated
at the head of Cavill Mall, the very heart of Surfers Paradise. Sit back relax and take in the sights.
MAIN BEACH Popular for early
morning walks – try the scenic path from Surfers Paradise north passing
Narrowneck where an artificial reef has been created to protect the expanse of sand from big surf. Stop for refreshments at the historic Main Beach bathing pavillion or the Southport Surf Life Saving Club.
THE SPIT A magnificent open ocean beach north of Main Beach. Walk out along the 500m sand pumping jetty, go diving near the wreck of the Scottish Prince. Federation Walk meanders through littoral rainforest. SOUTHPORT BROADWATER The protected waters of the Southport Broadwater are a hive of activity with cruises, jet skis, parasailing. Motor out to the Pacific Ocean for the day or take a sunset canal cruise. There are major marinas in the area including Southport Yacht Club, Mariners Cove, Marina Mirage, Palazzo Versace and further upstream at Runaway Bay, Hope Island, Hope Harbour, Sanctuary Cove and Gold Coast City Marina. SOUTH STRADBROKE ISLAND
While easily accessible from the mainland via a 20-minute ferry ride from Runaway Bay Marina, the island offers a different experience with 22km of open ocean beach, melaleuca wetland and some of the least populated beaches.

ARE YOU ‘STORM READY’? Our city welcomes around 12.7 million visitors annually. Hello Gold Coast is here to give those visitors an insight in to what’s happening in this dynamic and vibrant city we call home. Equally, media has a key role in ensuring our visitors, and residents, are well informed should a natural disaster strike our community. Right now, storm season is looming, meaning the 550,000 Gold Coasters need to ‘get ready’. Recently, I packed our family home emergency kit as I know the best protection is to be prepared. This year, some small businesses are partnering with City of Gold Coast to encourage disaster readiness. These stores sell many of the items needed for an emergency kit.
As Mayor, I’m committed to ensuring our city is as prepared as possible for storm season. As a community, we all have a role to play in keeping ourselves, our families, pets and homes safe. Visitors can obtain all the latest information during a disaster at: facebook.com/cityofgoldcoast or by tuning in to local radio (ABC Coast FM, HOT Tomato, 4CRB, SEAFM, GOLDFM or JUICEFM). For more information on disaster readiness and a list of retail partners visit: cityofgoldcoast.com.au/ getready
TOM TATE Mayor
ESSENTIAL ITEMS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR KIT ARE: - Non-perishable food & water - Personal hygiene items - Medications - Torch with extra batteries - Communications (radio & batteries) - A phone charger - Pre-paid phone cards - Important documents - A first aid kit And remember, in a flood situation, there is no such thing as taking a calculated risk as conditions can change very quickly. So if it’s flooded, forget it. hellogoldcoast.com.au | 143
