[OZ] 3D2N WINTER GOLDCOAST!

15 mins before landing, i woke up and looked up the window, and fascinating scenery.

GOLDCOAST

Not only lovely in Summer days but also winter. So many things to over in this small city with almost 540.000 people in it. Usually people comes to Goldcoast to enjoy all attractions of theme parks but this post is for you who just waant to chill (almost doing nothing) OR who comes with parents like me. Slow eat trip, sit down and ready to scroll down <3

TRANSPORTATION

Gold coast is under Queensland gov area, so they use same transportation card as Brisbane, GOCARD. But because of this city is quite touristy, the gov provides with Day trip card , that they called as GOEXPLORE for AUD10/day. You can buy it online or buy directly at the, airport.  It can be use for all kinds of transportation, bus , tram and Double decker. And after pass one day, you can just top up the card directly, at tram station or seven eleven :)

IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION HIGHLIGHT

ACCOMODATION

CHATEAU BEACHSIDE
