Make the most memories within the 70km pristine coastline
Before we headed for the Gold Coast, we thought of the sunny region as a good one- or two-days trip East while visiting the major cities like Melbourne and Sydney. But our five-day stay showed us that the Gold Coast abounds in gorgeous beaches, fun activities and exquisite eats, definitely not enough for just one or two days! We've put together the most unique parts of our experience, marked out by how each activity suits certain types of travel personalities, to help you get the most out of the huge and diverse Gold Coast. Check out our highlights video at the end for a better look at all the fun we had!

Quenching your curiosity
When in a new city, try something new! At least, that was our mindset when we were offered “ink gin” at Husk Distillers. Founded by a geologist, the distillery makes and distributes the ink gin worldwide as their signature, award-winning gin. We eyed the blueish colour skeptically at first, but they told us that it’s a natural colouring from 13 organic botanicals, including butterfly pea flowers. In the end, our curiosity won – the blue was indeed too pretty to resist – and it was a burst of refreshing floral flavours! Everything is self-sustainable at Husk Distillers; they even plant their own sugar cane to create rum.
