Gold Coast to Noosa
Kick off your trip on the
Gold Coast
, stopping in laid-back
Coolangatta
and the party-
prone pleasure dome of
Surfers Paradise
. If you have a couple of days to spare, let loose
your inhibitions (and your stomach) at the Gold Coast theme parks. To sample some cul-

Australia Zoo
- brilliant if you have the kids in tow (and

Maroochydore
is just as surf-centric. Another half-hour north
