Either you get to the Gold Coast airport at Coolangatta or you reach Brisbane from where it'll take you about an hour by road to get to Gold Coast.
Once there, the Surfside Busline runs 24 hour buses along the highway and can drop you off at all the main shopping malls, roads and theme parks. You can explore Gold Coast by buying a 24 hour $30 ticket and touring the spots at your leisure.
Gold Coast is one of the leading leisure boat destinations and ferries and water taxis connect islands and canal estates. You can hire jet skis, speedboats, houseboats, fishing charters, et al.
An unusual way to see the Coast is to be part of a tour on an amphibious vehicle called the Aqua Duck that gives you a tour of the streets and waterways at the same time.
Renting a car, cycle or a good old monster bike to ride with you is another way to see the Gold Coast.
Read through some good tips to getting to and around Gold Coast before you get there.
