If, when you travel, you'd prefer to explore the landscape, wildlife and other natural highlights that make an area unique, the Gold Coast has much to discover, even beyond the infamous Surfers Paradise beach area. One of the most beautiful areas in Australia, there's no shortage of things to do in Gold Coast. Here are some of our top picks:
If You Love to Hike There's no better way to explore some of the area's most beautiful landscapes than on foot. If you love to hike, you're in for a real treat, as there are many short and long distance 'bushwalks' to choose from.
For those looking for a short walk: • Palm Beach Parklands - with the option of two different walks in the same area, you can either explore the boardwalk or take to the Tarrabora Reserve. Or better yet, check out both! • Cougal Cascades - explore some of the Gold Coast Hinterland on this winding walk that finishes up at Springbrook National Park.
Looking for a Longer Trek?: • Federation Walk - a beautifully scenic 7km walk through headlands, sand dunes and forests. • Coombabah Lakelands - check out the bush, wetlands and wildlife while you explore the Coombabah Lakelands Track. This is a great place to catch a glimpse of a kangaroo or a koala, or to examine many different varieties of plants.
Nerang State Forest - take a walk through beautiful, dry rainforests and eucalyptus forests. Choose the distance of your excursion, and whether you wish to do it on foot, horseback or bicycle.

With lots of things to see and do for people of all ages, a trip to the Sanctuary won't disappoint!
