  • The Gold Coast - Queensland's crown jewel as well as a favoured destination for tourists looking for lines and bikies looking to sell them. But what's it really like? I mean, surely there's more behind the madness than just sandy beaches and needle-laden feet? Well, let's find out.

    Last time i was at Surfers, at 4am in the morning, we saw this feral hippy walking slowly up the Esplanade. He was off his chops! And he wanted a ciggie.
    We go "Are u ok mate?
    ' He goes, " Yeah, i just got a scented candle up me arse"
    So we go " Bro, do you need a doctor?"
    And he goes " Nah, I'm alright but it keeps sliding out"
    So we gave him 2 cigarettes and kept walking.

    I lived at Southport in the early 1990's. Just 5 minutes from Surfers but a world away. I loved it there. Now 30 years later, how things have changed. Surfers has changed for the worse. Dirty and you are right about the needles. Back then the place was full of Japanese tourists, every business was catering to the Japanese. All gone now.

  • @rachela1945

    As someone who lives on the GC (was even born here) sounds 100% accurate. Which is why I can probably count the amount of times I've been into Surfers Paradise on my fingers, without running out of fingers 😆. And spotting fake boobs (and fake everything else) is a favourite game when going anywhere... except the west side of the M1, low chance of running into them there.

    Excessively good description. We spent 2 months housesitting a million dollar property in Jan-Mar 24 here and it was an experience for sure. Everyone seems to care about looks, brands, and $$$. Half naked chiseled people sporting Maui Jims, Nike and Tiffany & Co . More Aston Martin, Porsche, Ferrari BMW and Mercs than Ive ever seen anywhere. I note you mentioned theme parks with a view of the slingshot which isnt in a theme park 🤣

    Pretty much spot on!
    Several years ago (a few decades TBH) I worked in a mental health clinic at Miami beach. (A converted warehouse one block from the actual beach, with no windows except in the toilets and the psychiatrist's office, so no enjoying that sunshine except on lunch break or a community visit.)
    And I used to describe the Gold Coast as a "mixture of glitz and sleaze".
    It's only gotten worse since then...
    But Coolangatta (southernmost end of the GC) is nice - different atmosphere, family friendly, and super beaches! (Not much nightlife though, if that's your thing... And not a place to get stuck during a pandemic, when the Qld Gov decides to close the border and you realise that the State border actually divides the Cooly-Tweed Heads amalgamated living space in a totally dysfunctional way.)
    And at the other (northern) end, Southport is also out of the main Gold Coast vibe. (Bit of a pain to get there though - half an hour off the Motorway, and you have to join the queue at Smith Street.)
