Gold Coast
Friday, July 27th, 2007
Let’s talk a bit about Australia. This country has fascinated me since I first learned that there are species of plants and animals there that aren’t found anywhere else on earth. I’d like to go there and see them for myself, you see. Of course, like any thrifty traveler, I’d be looking for cheap hotels, so I could spend my money on seeing and doing instead of sleeping.

This panorama of the Gold Coast looks enticing, doesn’t it? Some of the best known Australian beaches are here. The Gold Coast hosts over 830,000 international tourists a year! In addition to the beaches, there are 5 theme parks, plus an Indycar race in October if each year. Each June, there is a WinterSun festival, too. That seems like a funny name to those of us In north America, but Australia’s seasons are opposite ours. You’ll want to go during our summer, though, because their summer is incredibly hot, even according to me North Carolina standards.Gold Coast hotels run the gamut from plain to fancy and there’s something for every travel budget.
