The Morcom's Grand Adventure.: Gold Coast

The Gold Coast

WE could tell you lots of things about what we did on the Gold Coast. But the truth is we are too tired at the moment. But we will try anyway.

There is one reason to go to the Gold Coast. Theme Parks! And after you have sold your first born to get a pass to get into them you want to get the most out of them. We visited Wet’n’Wild, Seaworld, Movieworld and the Australian Outback Spectacular as well. Were our four days full on? You bet, but that is life on the Gold Coast.

A few highlights were the dolphins at Seaworld, something not to be missed. The stunt drivers at Movieworld are great entertainment as well. The rides at both Movieworld and Wet’n’Wild are great but I would have to say as a family we prefer our rides with a bit of water involved.

Our last day was our most memorable. It was the day we all stepped out of our comfort zone big time. At Wet’n’Wild, The Tornado, Kamikaze and the Black Hole were all conquered whilst Kurt loved the Jet Stream, the fastest Water slide in Australia.

The Outback Spectacular was a great night out. It is a musical tribute to the role the horse has played in Australia’s history. There was lots of great riding stunts as well as lots of very informative covering topics including, Phar lap, the Light Horse Regiment, the pastoral industry as well as others. It would be fair to say that that there was a little bit of country in all of us that night, especially with the hats Mr RM Williams gave us for attending.

We stayed in the Gold Coast Holiday park which in any other situation would have been great entertainment with a lovely Pool, bouncy castle , BMX track and tennis court _ but with the Theme Park visits we barely used the park facilities. We have had almost six weeks in Queensland and loved it. We have covered the south of the state in a bit of a hurry but New South Wales is calling and we are keen to get to Sydney. Maybe they might put on some fire works for us? Who knows.
