Is it really Paradise?
My sister moved up to Australia’s Surfers Paradise and I heard all sorts of things about the place, both good and bad; a fair few comments about the fake and beautiful people there. My sister told me that there are gorgeous men jogging - in slow motion. Yes, apparently it was that bad. I went up to see for myself and have no idea what everyone was talking about - what beautiful people? Most people seemed to be old!
The town itself is very clean looking and has loads to keep you busy with. The place is packed to the brim with cafes, restaurants, shopping (both bargain and designer) and the beach is pure white sand in both directions as far as you can see, with pretty good waves too. There are also loads of attractions including a couple of theme parks and water parks, zoo’s, fair rides, bungee jumping, surfing, day cruises to islands, flight simulators, massages and alternative healing, the list is endless and its the kind of place where you can never get bored as long as you have the cash.
There are a fair few strip bars so when you go out to dance at bars and nightclubs you get a lot of hassle from guys, no matter where you go. Its really annoying and makes you not want to party as it really isn’t a nice vibe.
There are also other towns that are within an hour of Surfers Paradise that are worth a visit like Brisbane, Byron Bay and Nimbin. There are plenty of National Parks about and tours to suit everyone. I quite liked the place, for a holiday, I think it would be very different to live there though.
