Most popular place to be visited in Queensland is Gold Coast. From golden beaches to sub-tropical rainforests to glitzy nightlife, Gold Coast has it all. Surfers Paradise is a shoppers' heaven featuring everything from bikinis to Australian opals. Finish off with a cocktail in one of the many Oceanside bars or take a dip in the sun drenched beaches of the Pacific Ocean. Just a short drive inland finds you meeting many Australian native birds and animals in places such as Lamington National park.
