In this episode we transport you to the heart of Australia’s glitter strip – the Gold Coast in Queensland with it’s golden sandy beaches, vibrant nightlife and word-class attractions. We are lucky that the Gold Coast is right in our own backyard and we have visited many times. You will hear about a few of our favourite restaurants and some fantastic new ones that we discovered. We tell you a funny story about how we saved $140 on one of our restaurant bills. Listen as we share the best beaches, walks and some great spots for a night out, including the famous Dracula’s caberet show. We give you some great accommodation options and the best way to get around – which involves leaving your car behind. Our last trip we were there for the Gold Coast 500 which is an annual motor racing event held in the streets of Surfers Paradise. We are not usually big car racing fans – but we were there for a special reason, so listen to the end to hear Lyle boast all about it!
