Full
Marathon, half Marathon, 10km Run and 7.5km Walk are amongst the event
schedule that caters for just about all ages and talents. If
you are not in it there is still plenty to see and be involved in.
Along the way the local radio station broadcasts music to
help keep everyone going! If you are staying along the route, you might
end up with a fairly early wake up call!
Roads are generally closed off from around 4.30am. Reopenings are varied along the route for a direct link to information on 2007 Gold Coast Marathon Road Closures. Marathon extends from Coolangatta in the South to Northern Labrador in the North and the roads affected are those along the Gold Coast Highway and surrounding streets.
The
Mudgeeraba Show on the Gold Coast at the Mudgeeraba Showgrounds is a
great opportunity to meet the locals and experience a good
Aussie Country Show. See livestock displays, feel the Show
atmosphere, enjoy the entertainment, eat some local home made treats
and take home some unique souvenirs.

The
Gold Coast Show has been
around for over 100 years - evolving to a show that is now held at the
Parklands Showgrounds close to Southport on the Gold Coast.
There are many types of displays including Australiana, homecrafts, visual arts, home show and trade exhibits and vintage cars. The young ones will enjoy the animal pavillion and the entertainment includes a Grand Parade (Friday only), a free circus, roving entertainment, stage shows, Australian Rodeo, Gold Coast Muster, Horse Showjumping and dressage plus fireworks and Main Ring entertainment every night. There are lots of rides and side shows for the kids. Don't forget to leave plenty of room and funds available for the show bags! Even though there is an entry fee, you will need to pay extra for rides, games and many of the activities inside. So make sure you budget and plan accordingly as you will need cash for most of these. ATM facilities are usually close, but often they get long queues - so don't waste time in waiting - take the cash with you and just ENJOY!

Gold Coast Events in 2007 - November
O'Reilly's
Rainforest Retreat
is located in Lamington National Park near Canungra in the hinterland
of the Gold Coast. The annual bird week had humble beginnings
and has now developed into a special week of walking through the
rainforest under the guidance of an experienced local ornothologist!
The O'Reilly's website contains great information about what
you can expect - I cannot do it justice here, best to check it out for
yourself.
The link above is to the Queensland Government website. There are several schoolies websites that have been created by ex-schoolies - but I am unsure of the content and will not direct you there.I will not pretend to know anything about schoolies or schoolies week.If you are planning to visit in November and are not just leaving school, may I suggest you avoid Surfers Paradise accommodation during this week. We have accidentally stayed in Surfers during the first weekend of Schoolies. It was noisy and busy, but it wasn't horrendous. However, if I had a choice when I was staying in Surfers Paradise I would probably not choose this week or I would at least stay out of Surfers in Broadbeach or even further afield.If you have come here seeking detailed information on schoolies I suggest you follow the links from the Queensland Government website above.
