The Gold Coast is a city located in the southeast corner of Queensland, approx 1 hour drive south of Brisbane. With 57 kms of coastline offering golden sands and fantastic surf beaches, it is considered Australia's premier holiday playground. It is renowned for its sunny, sub-tropical climate, beautiful beaches, expansive waterway and canal systems, active nightlife, fantastic shopping, a wide variety of tourist attractions and theme parks and an incredible number of first class golf courses! The Gold Coast enjoys a perfect climate, with average temperatures ranging between 28-30C (Summer Dec-Mar) to a balmy 20C (Winter Jun-Aug) and is a year round holiday destination. Good motorway access to Brisbane city and easy airport access to both Brisbane International and Gold Coast (Coolangatta) domestic airports.

Our home is located in the suburb of Labrador on the northern stretch of the Gold Coast and is central to everything. The suburb consists of residential homes as well as many serviced apartments, hotels and motels, a popular waterfront tourist park and a wide selection of restaurants. Labrador overlooks the scenic Southport Broadwater...a haven for boating and watersports enthusiasts with its still, shallow waters. The foreshore is just a short stroll down the street(2 blocks)and offers pleasant and peaceful walking tracks and a wide variety of alfresco restaurants along Marine Parade. The Broadwater is a popular swimming area with calm water, several small sandy beaches and children's playgrounds. The nearest surf beach is at Main Beach...approx 10 mins drive south of Labrador. Aquatic sports are a drawcard for the area including wind surfing, boating, fishing and parasailing.

The Gold Coast's most popular theme parks (Movie World, Sea World, Dreamworld & Waterworld to name but a few!) are within an easy 15 mins drive from our home. The Gold Coast is a golfer's paradise and there are about 20 courses (open to the public) within a 30 minute drive and green fees are very reasonable compared with Europe! Labrador has no shortage of shopping with local shops, supermarkets and large shopping centres all within an easy 5 minutes drive! There are also several weekend markets which are popular with locals and tourists

Only 30 minutes away from the coast and a great day trip, is the beautiful Gold Coast Hinterland and lush rainforest reserves. This is a vast area of national parks with miles of enchanting bushwalking trails leading to waterfalls, canyons & valleys, vineyards, quaint villages and home to an incredible variety of native wildlife & birdlife.

We are Maggie and Lionel, a middle-aged, well travelled Australian couple with no children. Lionel is a recently retired investment banker and I am a former travel industry executive. We now spend our time looking after our homes in Sydney and the Gold Coast, looking after our 2 little dogs, travelling and trying to improve our golf handicaps! Our hobbies/pastimes include travel, golf, gardening, good food & wine, cooking, and we enjoy exploring new places, meeting new people and making new friends! We have a sense of adventure, however we do enjoy the home comforts and the good things in life! We have travelled extensively and are now looking for a more relaxed holiday experience, somewhere warm to escape the Australian "winter" where we can absorb the local culture and play some golf! We travel on our own, but sometimes we may be joined by a couple of golfing friends for part of our holiday.
