Growing up the Gold Coast was the quintessential family holiday, with winter sun, theme park fun and the chance to eat at a restaurant, a luxury rarely afforded as one of four kids.

To this day, its sparkly beaches, party vibes, shopping and theme parks attract people from all over Australia, NZ and the world. But has even more to offer than what is obvious, with a thriving foodie scene and gorgeous rainforest hinterland helping to make the destination worth revisiting.

Post Covid much of Queensland has had an influx of new residents and this area is no different, which will likely breathe new life into an already loved destination.

If it’s been a long time since you visited or you have never been before, it might be time to put the Gold Coast on the list for your Australian holiday this year.
