The
Gold Coast is Australia's sixth largest city, located on the east
coast of southern Queensland, and only an hours drive from the
Capital, Brisbane. It has a subtropical climate with 300 days
of sunshine each year. The Gold Coast is renowned as Australia's
premier holiday destination, and the casual resort atmosphere
makes it appealing to visitors of all ages and interests. Consequently,
the Gold Coast offers students more than a place to study; it
is such a diverse and exciting place to live.
Australia's Gold Coast region offers 70 kilometres of uninterrupted
coastline of beautiful golden beaches, with lush subtropical rainforests
only a 30 minute drive away. The Gold Coast is famous for its
stunning surf beaches, appealing to body surfers, surfboard and
sailboard riders as well as offering calmer waters suitable for
families with young children. At least 35 of these beaches are
patrolled year-round by professional lifeguards to create a safe
swimming environment for swimmers of all levels.
Recognised as the theme park capital of Australia, Dreamworld,
Movieworld, Seaworld and Wet 'n' Wild offer fun filled experiences
for all ages. Wonderful al fresco restaurants, cafes and coffee
shops are plentiful, with fresh seafood a specialty. International
cuisine is available including Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian,
Spanish, Turkish, Indian, Mexican, Indonesia, Thai and more. Entertainment
is offered at a wide range of venues, whether it be a stage show,
canal cruise, live music at a night club or the 24 hour Casino.
The hinterland offers many contrasting activities from bush walking,
horse riding and hot air ballooning to visiting Art Galleries
and Museums as well as great restaurants and craft shops.
