Answer 3

Hi,

I agree with you. Theme parks in Gold Coast, QLD is only one of the many attractions. There're so much things to do in Queensland (QLD)

http://www.visit-queensland.com/visit-qu...

Tropical North Queensland (major capital city being Cairns)

You can visit:

- Daintree Rainforest region (where you get to walk the canopy, see cassowari birds, stay in one of their lodges)

- Cape Tribulation (where you can snorkle/dive the great barrier reef in peace instead of the more popular place of Port Douglas where you get loads of tourists), Drinks and really experience tranquality as it's very remote. You could pick coconuts off the trees as well as do sea kayaking

- Port Douglas - you can snorkle/dive great barier reef, nightlife here is nice too for the far north Queensland region.

- Watch out for the cane toads, destroy them if you see them around as they're pests.

Sunshine Coast

- Lots of nice swimmable beaches and also visit Steve Irwin Zoo (for the true croc experience)

Brisbane City

- Cosmopolitan city, just drive past it when you are on the way from Sunshine coast to Gold coast unless you have a spare time.

Gold Coast

- This is where the Year 12 students would have their end of highschool excursions and parties.

- First of all the beach is long, white, the sand is soft and warm...as you walk in the beach, due to the softness of the sand, it makes noise :-). You can swim at night too, the water's sooo warm and spend lazing around the beach.

- Home to 4 theme parks (Warner Bros Movie World, The Dreamworld, Wet and Wild and the Sea World)

- At night, lots of nice bars and restaurants - great to party in a beach mood.

- Voted by Travel Channel top 5 world's best beaches (Activity beach) - you can play cricket in the beach :-)

Whitsundays

- great if you sail, you can sail to whitsundays islands :) or do sea kayaking expedition.

Answer 4

Drink xxxx beer, laugh at the yobbos, and cringe at all the leather skinned locals who haven't heard of sun protection.

Jokes aside I think up near Brisbane they have a lovely bird park where you can go feed the Rosella's, also their beaches are some of the best.

Answer 5

Is to enjoy the beaches and all activity associated with beaches, such as hiring a boat or yacht, fishing, swimming, snorkeling the reefs, skiing, going out and looking at the whales in whale season time, Hiring a jet ski, or just sun baking and eyeing off the girls in their bikini es or men and boy lifesavers.

Answer 6

The best thing about QLD is in Gold Coast because it is so beautiful and the themeparks are the best in Australia
