Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Queensland
Brisbane is the capitol city and the Gold Coast is a coastal city of the state of Queensland in Australia. I had the privilege of travelling to Brisbane and the Gold Coast earlier this year and I have to say it was pretty fantastic! There was so many fun activities to do, so much good food to eat and people there were just beyond lovely and welcoming. No matter what age there is always something to do in Brisbane! There are great resorts for couples, lively nightlife for you and your friends and there is also fun activities for families!
Activities
These are some activities I found to be the most memorable
and fun! I would highly recommend visiting the theme parks in the Gold Coast,
specifically Wet n Wild and Movie World. The following are a list of my top 5 favorite rides from both these worlds.
- Superman Escape
- Batwing Spaceshot
- Scooby- Doo Spooky Coaster
- Wild West Falls Adventure Ride
- Tornado
- Mammoth Falls
- Surf Rider
- Arkham Asylum
- Green Lantern
- Wave Pool

Since I only spent one week in Brisbane I didn’t get to explore
as much as I would like but if you are a major shopaholic I would most definitely
suggest you stop by Carindale Shopping Centre! It is filled with all the brands
and has stores for all ages, the food court has the usuals (McDonalds, KFC etc.),
but also has so many different cuisines. If you’re more into the quirky clothing
and chilled bars it would be highly recommend taking a trip down to fortitude valley,
this is where I was informed the night life is at its best, with live music and
fantastic people! On my journey from Brisbane city to Fortitude Valley we stumbled
upon its Chinatown, it has beautiful buildings, lights and the best part a mini
outdoor cinema which are perfect for a date or just a nice night out with
friends.
Other fun places to explore
There were several places I heard about that I wanted to do
unfortunately I did not get the chance! However, if you are able to you should
visit the following:
Food
In Brisbane I found the most amazing sushi restrauant called Oishi Sushi Bar in Sunnybank Hills! It is a cute little restrauant with many unique and delicious sushi dishes! They also make a killer deep friend tempera ice cream you should check out.
This is a sushi cake created by the talented chefs at Oishi Sushi Bar!

Accomodation
Well, you are most definitely going to want to stay in
Queensland for more than a day, so you will obviously need a place to stay!
There are many places to stay and you will most definitely be able to find one
that fits your budget. If you are planning on visiting the theme parks you
should stay at the Sea World Resort, it would greatly add to your trip whether
you are with friends, family, partner or even alone!
