As a city, the Gold Coast is basically a long strip that runs down the coast to the Queensland-New South Wales border, meaning nature is never far away.
Tallebudgera Valley is one of my favourite places. To relax, I take my motorbike out for a ride through the bush on the winding Tallebudgera Creek Road. You can drive to the end, walk up the creek and hear all sorts of birds. The water’s great for a swim on a hot day.James Street in Burleigh Heads is fantastic. It’s a really relaxed vibe – you can go out with your friends and have a great time and not have to deal with the hustle and bustle of Surfers Paradise.
There’s a bunch of little bars and often you’re walking down an alley to find a sneaky back entrance.is a great place – dimly lit with a stack of whisky, you always know someone is going to make you a fantastic cocktail.
