Coomera is what happens when a Gold Coast suburb grows up next to a motorway and a theme park at the same time. Sitting roughly halfway between Brisbane and Surfers Paradise, right on the Pacific Motorway, it’s one of the fastest-growing areas in Queensland, full of new estates, a Queensland Rail station of its own, […]
Burleigh Waters is what happens when a beachside suburb runs out of beachfront and decides the next best thing is a backyard canal. Sitting just inland from Burleigh Heads, it’s built around a network of man-made lakes and waterways that thread through wide, leafy residential streets, most of them ending in a pontoon rather than […]
Broadbeach Waters sits behind Pacific Fair on a grid of canals dug in the 1950s, back when developers were still working out whether swampy dairy country could be turned into waterfront real estate. It was one of the first places that bet paid off, and the result is a suburb almost entirely given over to […]
Alberton doesn’t have a main street, a shop or even a church on the corner. What it has is space: large acreage blocks, horse paddocks and bushland, tucked between the Logan River and the Albert River on the very northern edge of the Gold Coast. It’s the kind of suburb you pass through rather than […]
Advancetown doesn’t have a main street, a pub or even a corner shop. What it does have is Hinze Dam, the Gold Coast’s main drinking water reservoir, which most people just call Advancetown Lake. Set in the hinterland behind Nerang, about 25 to 30 minutes from Surfers Paradise, this sparsely populated rural suburb exists almost […]
Varsity Lakes is what happens when someone designs a Gold Coast suburb from scratch and actually thinks about it.

Surfers Paradise is not subtle. It is loud, neon-lit, high-rise, and unapologetically itself — a city built for people who want the beach, the buzz, and enough variety to fill a week without repeating a morning. The old reputation for tacky t-shirts and overcrowded bars has mostly been overtaken by reality: there’s genuinely great dining […]
