The Gold Coast has been on of Australia's leading tourist areas, with everything from wine vineyards to jet boats. Here are just some of the activities that people have been enjoying over the years. To start with there is feasting On Seafood. Since fresh seafood is a standard on most menus throughout Gold Coast, your choices for a seafood feast are practically endless. You can also purchase your own fresh seafood from Charis Seafood, Peters Fish Market or Ferry Road Market. Another option would be to hire a boat or take a chartered fishing expedition or crab cruise, and catch your own seafood feast.
The Gold Coast is famous for its many attractions and there are, in fact, so many that they have to be divided into different categories like extreme sporting activities, theme parks, historical attractions and museums just to keep them straight. Among the well known historical attractions is the Tamborine Mountain Pioneer Homestead, which is situated in the Tamborine District of Queensland's McPerson Mountain Range and which gives visitors an idea of what it was like to survive in the district's pioneer settlements of 170 years ago. Extreme sporting activities in the Gold Coast area include the Sling Shot Bungy, which is the only bungy jump on the Gold Coast, and which first hauls tourists 14 stories in the air and then lets them fly free.
Support a Local Team: For a day that the entire family will enjoy, you can watch an Australian rules football game, a rugby game, a basketball game, and even a local iron man contest. You are guaranteed to have a good time.
And if the thrill of bungy jumping and helicopter travel is to much for you then why not spend a lazy day whale watching on the whale, island and sunset evening cruises as offered by Whales in Paradise. As far as theme parks go, no visit to the Gold Coast would be complete without a visit to the Australian Outback Spectacular. This park offers an unsurpassed take on Outback life featuring live action shows, authentic Outback food and live music and is currently featuring a show that pays tribute to the Australian Light Horse Cavalry. Finally, end the evening off with a visit to the 'spook-tacular' Dracula's Cabaret and Restaurant to be entertained by the lively Vampirates or to take a tour through Dracula's Haunted House.
Go Hot Air Ballooning: Ballooning may not come cheap (prices start at $175 per person) but it pays off. Floating soundlessly in the sky is one of those rare experiences that everyone should try at least once. And on the Gold Coast the views are spectacular, with Brisbane, the brilliant sight of the Coasts endless high rises and peaks of Tamborine Mountain and Mt Warning all visible on clear days. Thirty minutes feels like only a moment up there and you'll be wishing for more.
