At the top of the southern hemisphere
Just about an hour drive by train from Brisbane there is Gold Coast City located – also known as Surfers Paradise – Making it perfect for a day trip from Brisbane. Gold Coast City is a new build highrise city that stretches along the endless beach. From the train station it’s a fair bit to surfers paradise downtown. Luckily the new tram line just opened a few days before our visit what. As the city is just long but not wide at all, there is just one line that rides parallel to the beach.
