For all my readers in the UK that isn't Blackpool's posh sister, but Southport the Gold Coast. I now have a trip to Queensland planned as part of my Australian adventure. I have been looking at what the Gold Coast has to offer, and there's a lot. Obviously there are the beaches, the Gold Coast is famous for, but for travellers who want to see more and have a car there is the Hinterland, a region of mountains and rainforest, I wasn't expecting that.
The Gold Coast has over 400 km (about 250 miles) of rivers and canals "ten times longer than Venice"and there are river cruises that go through rainforest and trips to see dolphins and then snorkel through ship wrecks, you might just get to see a turtle they say.
A little closer to where I am staying there are kayak tours. I am really interested in the half day island kayaking and snorkelling tour. They say there's a chance you might see dolphins as you paddle through the calm warm water, even if I don't there's the tropical fish to snorkel with. It brings back memories of Tall and me snorkelling in Turkey, a very happy memory, tinged with a bit of sadness that he won't be with me this time.
There's clearly a lot to see and do and there's no way I can fit it all in to one trip!
