Gold Coast Travel Forum

4 of us will visit gold coast 2 weeks later. We will touch town to brisbane airport on thursday morning. My hotel is Royal Wood, Ashmore. I believe that its too early for me to check in, thus we plan to walk walk around brisbane airport. and the rest of the day is free.
my second day is to catch a crab cruise, finish at 11am then plan to go currumbin wildlife sanctuary, evening time will be suffer paradise
On sat we go to sea world and sun we go to Movie world
the monday plan to go some market place to buy some fruits back to my country, thus we choose tropical fruit world then harbour town for shopping.
Can anyone suggest to me that where should i go except tropical fruits world and what should i do afrer i reach airport on thursday

I'm sorry I'm not helping but I can't resist...

"suffer paradise" is so funny!

So how early do you arrive and where from. Will you be jet lagged?

Usually in Australia you can check in earlier than Europe especially if you contact them and explain you are traveling.

Why are you hanging around Brisbane? I think you can get the airport train to Ashmore. Get rid of your luggage even if you cannot check in to your room and come to Brisbane another day.

If you are staying in Brisbane Airport you can go to the outlet stores..a short taxi ride but you cannot leave luggage at airport.

You can go by train to Central by airport train , leave luggage and then go to Botanical gardens.

It is a good idea to give us a picture and more info so we can help more.

You may or may not know that from Brisbane airport to Ashmore the airport bus will take about 1.5 hours. also from your hotel to the catch a crab cruise in Tweed Heads N.S.W is an other 1 hour drive.again Tropical Fruit world is over
one hour by car and much longer by bus from your hotel . Sea world,Movie world and Harbour town not too far from Ashmore . hope this helps

totally totally agree with all the replies, and loved the suffer paradise. Seriously though people forget distances involved in australia and it doesn't matter where you plan to holiday, time between attractions needs to be factored in. Most hotels will store your luggage safely if you arrive before your room is ready, just email them and explain you have an early flight. I didn't get first thread so don't know where you arriving from "2 weeks later" my bad. What particularly are you interested, ie wildlife, beaches, rainforest etc

Hey i loved qld, hope you have a great hol too.

Cheers Heather

There is a DFO shopping centre on airport drive (2 minute drive or taxi ride from terminal) that I highly recommend for cheap shopping. DFO stands for Direct Factory Outlet and it has all the expensive clothing, cosmetics, jewellery etc very cheap. There is also a grocery store there (Woolworths I think) for food etc.

You might have to check to see if it is ok to take fruit out of Australia but more important if customs(your country)will allow you to bring fruit into your own country...!!??..

When I was in India,I heard a little voice below my hotel room window..."SUFFERINGS-SUFFERINGS..!!"...What tha...??...Who's suffering..??...Oh..!!..The little joker was only selling softdrinks...!!..
I love Suffer Paradise...!!
