Once little more than a weekend surfing and fishing retreat for Brisbanites,
the Gold Coast has come quite a way since a couple of entrepreneurs sat down
in the 1960s and planned a canal resort on one of the finest stretches of golden
beaches in the land. Today the Gold Coast is a vibrant city of 400,000, a surf,
sun and rainforest mecca for tourists from all over the world. It conjures up
different images for different people, but whether you adore it or detest it,
you can’t ignore it. From its nightclubs to its beaches, from its towering
apartment buildings to soaring rainforest, from its myriad golf courses to its
theme parks, the Gold Coast is brash, it’s young and it’s exciting.
Broadbeach is situated 3 klms from Surfers Paradise. Broadbeach has ample accommodation,
shopping, restaurants and cafes, and the jewel of the Gold Coast, - Jupiters
Casino. This luxury resort and casino offers a myriad of things to do: you can
eat at one the 5 restaurants, see a show, dance or have a swim at the pool,
go to the gym or play tennis. If you want to hit the surf a monorail runs from
Jupiters to the beach.
