When you’re backpacking Australia, Queensland’s Gold Coast is a must on your itinerary.
While Sydney and Melbourne are well-know internationally, it’s the Gold Coast where you’ll have the most fun. Our city of 500,000 people stretches along the white sandy beaches or the East Coast and is surrounded by luscious green hinterland. There’s plenty of water activities, bush walking and theme parks. But don’t expect to rest at the end of a long day, cause things are just heating up. Queensland’s Gold Coast is Australia’s biggest party town with thousands of pubs, bars and clubs – not to mention a world-class casino. While there’s plenty of places to stay on the coast, Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach are best suited to backpackers.
