About Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is a large urban area with a population of 720,000, the largest non-state capital in Australia. Most visitors will the Gold Coast as a long thin strip of modern high-rise buildings next to seemingly endless beaches, although the city itself extends far inland to the hills of the Scenic Rim. Surfers Paradise, towards the northern end, is the main hub of the leisure activity. There is a huge choice of hotels, restaurants, tourist shops and tourist experiences to be found. The city is developing itself as a work-hub for large corporations that want to offer their employees a better work-life balance away from the capital cities. The city shares its infrastructure, facilities, services and labour market with Brisbane to the north. Workers commonly commute between the two by rail
