This is why there are more Americans living in Australia, than there are Australians living in America.

It was referring to the Gold Coast as having a population of half a million people, though that video is from 9 years ago, the current population is about 732, 000. The population of Brisbane is currently about 2.5 million.

You know we’re spoiled when we turn our noses up at the Goldie. It’s a big tourist spot so it’s a bit gimmicky sometimes for us but it’s fabulous too

Ryan, the Gold Coast is okay for families. The Sunshine Coast, north of Brissy is a beautiful region. Quieter with beautiful beaches and surroundings. Go further north up around Airlie Beach and you hit the Wow factor.
Up around Whitehaven Beach would have to be the finest, whitest sand with crystal clear water.

I am currently sitting in the car park of Tallebudgera surf club, after a lovely meal with friends overlooking the ocean. This end of the Gold Coast ( Palm Beach, Currumbin, Tugun, Coolangatta) is truly paradise. It's beginning to be built up and overpriced, but if you face the ocean... there's nothing more beautiful on this planet! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in this world! This beauty makes my soul complete. ❤️

I have lived on the Gold Coast almost my entire life.. and as a local I stick to the south end, it’s chill and more for the locals. I’m also so lucky with where I live on the GC.. I’m talking Robina, Bonogin, Mudgeeraba, Varsity Lakes area.. 2 minutes from the highway, Robina Town Centre, 2 train stations, Springbrook, 20-30 minutes from the beaches. Beyond blessed, I’m truly thankful everyday

As a local boy of 62 years, and have lived and travelled all over the world. This is the fucking best place on the planet.

The Gold Coast is pretty full on. A far cry from the kilometres of beautiful sand dunes it was in the 60's before development. It's okay for a holiday or a day trip if you live in Brissy.

[Sharyn-xe]

Most Aussies consider the Gold Coast as a holiday destination, rather than a place to live. It’s a popular place to go to get away from the cold winters in the other states. It has everything that a tourist wants and more

[pauljstephens]

Australia has so many beaches that if you visited a different one every day it would take you a whole year to see them all. *edit* wow was I wrong. It’s actually 32 years!

Check out Turquoise Bay near Exmouth in Western Australia. Pristine. In my opinion, this beach is much nicer than Gold Coast or Surfers which is nice enough, but crowded and touristy. If you want to visit Queensland, I would suggest Mission Beach is a beauty, mate! 😊 but you gotta take note of signs for croc habitats. We don't get crocs in our beaches in Western Australia. But higher up in Northern Territory, its croc country again. WA has miles and miles of stunning beaches with the whitest sand... AND NO CROCS! Also check out Lancelin (as well ast beautiful water, the dunes here are a must for sand surfing/dune buggies/4wd etc ), Ledge Point and Coral Bay. You won't be disappointed.

My home. I am a proud Queenslander and love that all this is a one hour drive. To the coast, to the mountains, to the city. More affordable than Sydney or Melbourne and a little bit more relaxed :)

[isaacjessep]

it's a good place, there's a lot of pretty grimey night club's and drunk people though so look out for that (all in surfers paradise). I live in Goldy and the best part about it is the bushwalking and all the waterholes and waterfalls in the hinterland. The nicest suburb that has things going on is burleigh, full of really cool surfie people and chill bars with a bit of live music, good scene down there if you want more of a local feel.

[seeshel]

Ryan there are nice areas within a few hours drive from the GC that provide a lovely lifestyle.The heart of the GC can feel overly pitched to tourists not locals.

[heatherwardell]

I live on the Gold Coast. It is beautiful, winter now at 22-24 celcius each day. Water is cold in winter but we often see people swimming and we just know they must be from Britain or Tasmania or Melbourne. Lots of theme parks, mountains, beautiful beaches and restaurants.

[Rabbitwarren_]

Love the Goldie, have holiday's there frequently but it is nowhere near the best beach in Oz. Jervis Bay area in southern NSW is STUNNING!

[michaelowen]

The goldie is ausome from Brisbane moved to the goldie 25 years ago LOVE

[egrffin]

If you stay for a week on the Gold Coast you can visit all these places, but you really need two weeks + to enjoy them all.

My dad has that view from his mountain property. The ocean is beautiful. My great grandparents had it originally as their dairy farm. The place certainly looks different now 😂

[zombiemukbang]

its nice sitting on the beach with the huge shade from the skyscrapers. A bit too touristy for me. Sunshine coast is much nicer imo
