The Place
Gold Coast, Australia
City introduction
Fifty-seven kilometers of surf sand, theme parks and hinterland green. The Gold Coast is Australia's playground strip: surf beaches stacked with towers, theme parks (Movie World, Dreamworld), the Burleigh Heads headland's locals-only vibe, and the Gondwana Rainforest of the hinterland an hour inland. Loud, sunny, and better than its reputation once you turn south.
