Gold Coast half day ideas

Hi guys,

I am off to the Gold Coast next week for work and have a spare morning and a spare afternoon (on separate days). Does anyone have any ideas on stuff to do, besides going to the beach? I will be staying in surfers paradise with no car.

Thanks!

  • The local buses are excellent. Try some shopping at Harbour Town the outlet centre. Take a bus to and from there. You may have to do this in the afternoon slot as it's very big. The beach walks are great. http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/thegoldcoast/oceanway-156.ht… details walks and points of interest. Watch out for the time share touter's trying to offer you scratchies.

    • Hi there,

      Thanks for the reply!

      So the buses are generally on time unlike the ones in Sydney? Ooh thanks for the reminder about Harbour Town - I vaguely remember someone else mentioning on ozbargain that there was a North Face store in the Gold Coast and I wanted to check it out!

      The walks sound great too! I will try and squeeze one in.

  • Yes, like anywhere, they can be late. Download a get around guide http://www.surfside.com.au/documents/gagweb16DPS.PDF Print out in colour pages 7&8 with the coloured maps and just read the rest. We always use the buses when we go on holiday there (regularly as we have timeshare there) and never hire cars. Less stress too. Enjoy your time.

  • You could come to work with me. :)
