What to do in North Gold Coast

Activities, attractions and tours

A visit to the Gold Coast is not complete without Venturing a little west to the Coombabah Conservation Parklands. Here you can immerse yourself in walks through Melaluecas, along boardwalks and marvel at the swamp like conditions. Not only are the walks enchanting, you can almost be guaranteed of a meeting with kangaroos, wallabies and koalas. This place is one you can't go to just once. Get out and explore. #hiking #weekendgetaway #colourful

Shooting astro at South Stradbroke Island over the weekend and the weather conditions couldn't have been better for capturing the Milky Way. I got this shot early in the evening as the Milky Way rose above the ocean and I thought I'd give the image some scale by standing on the small sand dune with a light.
Just across the Broadwater from the Gold Coast in Queensland is South Stradbroke Island, one of only 15 sand based islands in the world, and home to Couran Cove Resort. This island getaway is made up of 1,800 acres of conservation park, so you know you’re walking into pristine nature. And it's one of the few places on the East Coast of Australia where you can see the sun rise in the east of the island and set on the west.
