Australia: Gold Coast and Brisbane
The Gold Coast, Australia's eastern coastline, is a popular vacation spot for Australian families. International visitors can fly into Brisbane and have a varied trip that combines beach and surfing at the Gold Coast with a day-trip to an island on the Great Barrier Reef, a side-trip inland to the hinterland rainforest, and even some theme park fun. Nearby Brisbane offers sightseeing, great whale-watching, and a place to visit koalas and kangaroos.
