    South Stradbroke Island

    'Straddie' was our favourite getaway when we were kids. We went there quite often with family in my younger years, and then with my mates when I was older. Camping on South Stradbroke Island is the perfect retreat if you want to escape the fast pace of everyday life to totally relax in a holiday amongst its natural and undeveloped beauty. The island has beautiful unpopulated beaches, several resorts that offer facilities for day trippers, including water sports and environmental tours and is also great for beach fishing, swimming and surfing. How to get there: If you don't know someone with a boat, the ferry services to Stradbroke leave from Runaway Bay, about 20 minutes' drive north of Surfers Paradise. It takes about 15 minutes for the ferry to reach this 20-km-long sandy island with its quiet beaches.

    This is definitely undiscovered, but only a couple of kilometres from Surfers Paradise. A large sand island 20km long, it has empty beaches. A ferry runs from the west side of The Spit for about $7 return. A more expensive ferry to Couran Cove runs several time past the campgrounds.

    I made decision to visit golden coast in a rush way, coz my flatmate was told to work over there on X'mas 2003. I didn't want to be alone at Sydney, so I taged along with her there for an almost free vocation. This is the 'surfer's paradise' beach where we spent in the first day afternoon. It may be the longest beach in Australia which is so incredible.
