Hi, my family and i are planning to visit Gold Coast on 26th March to 31st March. I'm not sure whether shall we rent a car or taking a public transport would be easier. We will be staying at Santana Resort and is there any train or bus reaches our place? We would like to visit the Centro, Dream world and Sea world as well. Any suggestion? Possible to drive in gold Coast with my Malaysia's driving license? Thank you so much.
Located 4 blocks from the beach; close to Casino and Convention Centre (700m); central to Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. Bus stops located at the door to all local theme parks, shopping centres, visitor attractions (2min by bus to Cavill Avenue, 1min bus ride to major shopping centres).
Not sure regarding driving with Malaysian drivers licence- best get an International Drivers licence, its always safest. The roads are good, and a hire car will give you flexibilty to drive around and see the Gold Coast proper.
If the Malaysian Driver's licence is written in English then it will be OK. If it is written in any other language then you need to get an International Driving Permit.
The beach, the atmosphere, to total relaxation of it all.
Some useful websites for the Gold Coast are:
http://www.goldcoastaustralia.com
http://www.coastwatch.com
http://www.wotson.com.au/ White sand beaches, clear water, rolling surf, rocky hinterlands, swimming, snorkelling, beach barbecues....a typical Queensland summer....
The climate is subtropical and the region enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year.

The Dam is located about 15kms from Nerang on the Gold Coast. It has lovely picnic areas, and you can freshwater fish here, but you need a permit, which costs $5 for a week. The website will tell you where you can buy these from. The great thing about Hinze Dam is when it overflows over the wall, you can walk through a tunnel underneath, and view the water from the inside out, the noise of the water is deafening. It is quite an experience, one not to be missed. You can walk through the tunnel anytime, but when the dam is full and overflowing is the best.
From Mudgeeraba, take road to Tallai, Gilston, follow signs to Dam,
or..........
from Nerang, take road to Advancetown, follow signs to Dam.
UPDATE
As of January 2011, Hinze Dam is closed until further notice.
