Things to do in Springbrook

We went straight to the zoo after getting off the plane. We arrived quite late, but we were lucky enough to see most of the animals, including wombats, Tasmanian devils, and smiling rats. A great zoo, highly recommended. The coffee at the entrance was delicious, and feeding the parrots was also very interesting. Feeding starts at 4 PM, and even when we left at 5 PM, there were still parrots to feed.

This is a must-visit in the Gold Coast area of ​​Brisbane. My favorite attractions are: Twin Falls, Rainbow Falls, Qinquan Falls, Natural Bridge. These places are very beautiful during the day, but they are a million times more beautiful at night. There are many fireflies on the forest road and in the cave... Just think, in New Zealand, you have to spend 50 New Zealand dollars to see the fireflies in the cave, but here it is free!!! An absolutely amazing place!!!

describe gold coast beachesBest Beaches On The Gold Coast to Visit | QueenslandGold Coast beaches feature 57km of stunning, white-sand coastline along the Pacific Ocean, offering world-renowned surf breaks, patrolled swimming areas, and vibrant, developed shorelines. Key spots include the bustling Surfers Paradise, the surfing mecca of Snapper Rocks, and serene spots like Currumbin and Burleigh Heads.

I visited SkyPoint Observation Deck solo and really enjoyed the experience. The 360-degree views from the top of Q1 are excellent—clear views over Surfers Paradise, the beach, the coastline, and the hinterland. It is a great place to take in the scale of the Gold Coast from 230 metres above ground.As a solo traveller, I found it very easy to enjoy at my own pace. I found a seat by the windows, ordered a beer from the bar, and simply relaxed while watching the city and coastline below. The atmosphere was comfortable and unhurried, and having a drink while taking in the view made the visit feel more special than just walking around an observation deck.The lift ride up is quick, and the deck is spacious enough to move around and find a good viewing spot. I would recommend visiting around late afternoon if possible, so you can enjoy both daylight and the changing light over the coast.Overall, a highly recommended stop in Surfers Paradise.

It was so much fun, much better than Tokyo DisneySea! The lines for the rides were shorter, and there were shows and interactions with manta rays. It's a shame we arrived a bit late in the morning and missed out on so many rides. The only downside was that the daily operating hours were too short. It's perfect for the whole family (the worst part is that adults aren't allowed to ride the carousel because they're tall; they can only ride in small cars, ugh).

No tickets are needed; simply scan the QR code to enter the park, which is significantly cheaper than buying tickets on the official website. Most rides have no queues, making for an extremely enjoyable experience. Even the most popular roller coasters only have queues of about 20 minutes. Transportation is convenient; take the Surfers Paradise light rail to the northernmost station and then transfer to a bus; the entire journey takes only one hour.

Great fun way to see Gold coast in a short time for both adults and children!

Paradise Farm is a treasure trove for experiencing the Australian countryside! As soon as you enter the farm, you can smell the natural scent of hay and soil. The fluffy sheep, cute kangaroos and emus are wandering on the grass, which is very immersive. The most important thing you can't miss is the wool shearing performance! The farm workers skillfully "transform" the sheep. After the fluffy thick hair is shed, the sheep instantly becomes "skinny". You can also touch the wool on the spot, which is soft and healing. There is also a sheepdog show, where the dogs flexibly shuttle among the sheep, which is super smart! By the way, you can also feed the kangaroos by hand. They look super cute holding the feed bags. Remember to touch their backs gently. There is also a traditional Billy Tea brewing performance in the farm. Tea is boiled on the campfire with a tin kettle and paired with Australian toast. One bite is the authentic country taste. If you want to take photos, put on the cowboy clothes provided by the farm, stand in front of the red barn, and take photos that look like a western movie in minutes. It is a great place to immerse yourself in the Australian farming and pastoral life.

This is a very large forest park. The scenery is relatively primitive, but also very beautiful. It is also the largest gathering area of ​​fireflies in Australia, but we didn’t see any during the day.

Very good and exciting
