While the Gold Coast has always been well-renowned for its beach culture, it has been a little behind in the development of its calendar of arts and cultural events.

However with strong community and city support for a Gold Coast Cultural Precinct, it’s no surprise that a bevy of events are beginning to come out of the woodworks.

Make sure you check out the fantastic array of events featured in this edition on pages 42-43. Free events like the Swell Sculpture Festival and the Kirra Kite Festival showcase the rising art scene and are located on our famous beaches. After the success of the Blues on Broadbeach Festival earlier in the year, the Broadbeach Jazz Festival has a lot to live up to, but with revered musicians like Vince Jones and Marcia Hines headlining, this is bound to be an event not to miss!

Our top-notch sporting events, the Gold Coast 600 and Gold Coast Sevens return to excite and thrill sports fans. And with the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games fast-approaching, crowds can experience just a taste of what the Gold Coast may have in store.

Also don’t forget that the Gold Coast’s whale watching season is now in full swing (see page 38). If you haven’t experienced it before, viewing these magnificent creatures up close will be a moment in time you’ll never forget.

So whether it’s attending an arts or music festival, getting involved in the excitement of a sports event or just simply visiting the beach, we hope you enjoy your stay, we love having you here and remember ... always swim between the flags. Happy holidays!

whale watching

whale watching playful and naturally curious nature ensures whale watchers are never disappointed, as these friendly giants are regularly seen breaching, tails slapping and spy hopping just metres from whale watch vessels.

Due to the accessibility, concentration of whales and possessing the longest whale watching season in the country, the Gold Coast has become Australia’s premier whale watching destination and arguably the new whale watch capital of the world.

Between the months of June to November the typically calm waters of the Gold Coast begin to bristle with life as approximately 15,000 majestic Humpback whales arrive to mate and give birth in South-East Queensland’s calm inshore waters.

The Gold Coast provides a fantastic opportunity for whale watch enthusiasts to get up close and personal with one of the largest living mammals on Earth. The Humpback whales

38-39 Whales in Paradise 40 Rivers Whale Watching Tall Ship Island Adventures 41 Coolangatta Whale Watch

Humpback whale sightings are guaranteed on each and every whale watch cruise and with the affectionately named Humpback highway just 10 minutes off Surfers Paradise you can enjoy a half day whale watch cruise and and leave your morning or afternoon free to indulge in other great Gold Coast activities.

fun facts • The Humpback whale’s closest land based relative is the Hippopotamus • A Humpback whale calf will drink up to 400 litres of milk per day • There she blow’s … The Humpback whales blow leave its lungs at more than 600km per hour.

rural villages, eclectic communities, lush farmland and more – all centred around the sweeping slopes of Mt Warning.

The entire region is contained within the caldera of an ancient shield volcano that encircles the base of the mountain, rising up to jungle-shrouded cliff-faces in the west and opening out onto the rolling Pacific coastline in the east.

Travelling through the valley, the rich volcanic soils give nourishment to acres of emerald green farmland blanketed across gently rolling hills, dotted with a string of quirky villages where the Tweed’s eclectic artisans and craftspeople showcase their talents in country galleries and at weekend markets.

Directly across the state border from Australia’s most famous holiday destination, the Tweed region offers a tranquil, naturebased alternative.

Just 15 minutes drive south of the Gold Coast Airport, you’ll discover a unique combination of quintessentially Australian experiences – unspoilt beaches, World Heritage rainforests,

currumbin to bilinga

The suburb of Currumbin has the best of both worlds. It is nestled on the beautiful Currumbin Creek which winds its way down to the Pacific Ocean from World-heritage listed subtropical rainforests 20 kilometers inland. It meets the sea at ‘the Currumbin Alley’, which offers both north-facing, still water swimming and a World-famous, sand-bottomed, point, surf break, formed by the majestic Currumbin Rock. Currumbin also has an easterly facing surf beach to the south of the Alley and this is bounded by the picturesque Elephant Rock. Inland you can visit the Currumbin Rock Pools and Cougal Cascades, a 25 minute drive into the tranquil Currumbin Valley.

Next stop south, is the pristine Bilinga Beach, which is opposite the Gold Coast Airport and the Southern Cross University. Walk this beautiful beach and you will think you are on a deserted island, as you are bounded by high sand dunes to the west.
