Gold Coast Travel Forum

My husband and I willbe arriving in Coolingatta for ten days and leaving from Brisbane. We will be staying with a friend in Surfers for a few days. Would like to explore other areas and perhaps stay for a few days, not
necessarily by the beach. We enjoy relaxing around a pool. Do not like concrete jungles - much prefer places which are quiet; with some space around. We will probably hire a car for say a week - any recommendations? What will the temperature be like at that time? Any suggestions will be welcome.

Lamington National park is glorious, tamborine mountain, Springbrook National Park her eis a website where you can check them all out.... http://www.reflections.com.au/GoldCoast/Hinterland/index.html

Thanks Tatt, we arrive on the 20th October and look forward to exploring the area. Cheers

hopefully these winds will have dropped and it wont be so cold for you..... it is so hard to say these days what the weather will be like as world wide it has changed...... we are getting rain when we normally dont, it is hot one day .cold the next.it is ridiculous. Either way I know you will love you holiday

A nice drive up through the Currumbin Valley will no doubt fit your needs. There are really nice swimming holes right off of the road that I have enjoyed many times in the past as well as some glow worms caves. All easy to find and please take a picnic lunch it's wonderful. Enjoy your holiday!

After you have left Surfers stay at the Southern end of the gold Coast, Burleigh Heads to Coolangatta. Its much nicer, less built up, less touristy. The inland is the real gem. Tamborine Mountain, Binna Burra , O'Riellies,Currumbin Valley, Numinbah Valley ( Natural Arch), and the "rainbow triangle ( a stretch of land bounded by Byron Bay,Lismore and murwillumbah). All these areas are easily covered in your timeframe, and still leave time for lounging by the pool. Enjoy your stay

Thank you for your help - we will certainly explore these areas .... Regards and Best Wishes

Thank you - will do this .... Cheers and Best Wishes
