I'm so in love with the Gold Coast that I can't see it realistically

I can’t stop reminiscing about Queensland every time I leave—its pace, sunshine, sea breezes, blue skies, and that perfect 23°C weather. While it’s sweltering hot in summer back home, I miss the cool comfort of the Southern Hemisphere so much 🥹. I highly recommend visiting Queensland during the off-season! This time, I want to highlight my happy place: the Gold Coast 😍. ☀️ Brisbane | A city full of healing power 🏫 The University of Queensland looks like something out of a fairy tale—stroll by the lake, wander the jacaranda-lined paths, or soak up the sun on the grass. 🌇 In the evening, head to South Bank to walk on the beach and watch the sunset. Check out Brisbane’s famous landmarks as the city glows golden-purple—it feels like living in a movie. 🐚 Gold Coast | A resort-style escape on the city’s edge Just an hour’s drive from Brisbane, you’ll find yourself by the sea 🏄🏻‍♀️. The Gold Coast’s ocean is so stunning that every photo could be a cover shot 🥹. Recommendations: 📍 Picnic on the grass at Burleigh Heads 📍 Miami Beach—quiet, scenic, and perfect for photos ✨ 📍 SkyPoint Observation Deck—equally amazing for daytime sea views and night vistas! 📍 Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary—where you can cuddle a koala 🐨 🦘 Suggested itinerary: Start your morning at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary to cuddle koalas and feed kangaroos—they’re absolutely adorable! Afterward, hop on bus 700 right outside the sanctuary and head north 🚍. With the ocean and beaches outside your window, stop at Burleigh Beach → Surfers Paradise along the way. I suggest staying to watch the sunset at Surfers Paradise before heading back 🌅—the city lights flickering on are so romantic 🥰. 🎡 Two amazing theme parks in the Gold Coast: 🐬 Sea World—heartwarming dolphin shows, cute little penguins 🐧, and tons of picturesque spots to take photos 📸. 🎬 Movie World—a must for DC fans! 🎢 The DC Rivals Hyper Coaster comes with 5 stars—it’s billed as the longest and fastest coaster in the Southern Hemisphere, with intense drops. ✅ Book tickets online in advance to skip the lines. 🧳 Travel tips: 1️⃣ Visit in June (off-season)—temperatures hover around 20°C, perfect weather! 2️⃣ China Southern Airlines’ direct flights—sleep through the journey and wake up in Queensland. ✈️ Fly China Southern Airlines direct from Guangzhou to Brisbane.
