Gold Coast
The Gold Coast is the high-rise beach strip south of Brisbane. Surfers Paradise is the centre. The beach itself is free. Theme parks and surf lessons are the paid layer and should stay optional on a budget plan. The Pacific Highway passes inland of the beach suburbs, so an itinerary that wants the sand has to leave the highway. Byron Bay is the next famous overnight south, across the New South Wales border.
Suggested time: 2 nights.
