Coast Car Rental Touring Information
GOLD
COAST - Some 4 million visitors arrive each year to holiday
along the Gold Coast’s 70 km of coastline, which includes
no less than 35 famously beautiful beaches stretching from
South Stradbroke Island to the New South Wales border. Shopping,
restaurants, nightlife, family entertainment, high-rise hotels,
golf, fishing, sailing, surfing and unbelievably good weather
around 300 days of sunshine per year — are the trademark
features of what has become Australia’s biggest and
busiest holiday destination. To the west lies the Gold Coast
hinterland, another kind of world altogether. Here a superb
natural landscape of tropical rainforests, unusual rock formations
and cascading waterfalls — much of it protected by national
park - offers visitors opportunities for such nature-based
activities as bushwalking, camping, and wildlife-watching.
