|

Australia
is on holidays and the
Gold Coast is one of the main Australian destinations for
families. It is a HOT
summer
month.
Being
by the beach
or near water
are a must at this time of the year.
|
Sea
World entrance to shows,
water
fun and rides
|
The
temperature and humidity are
high and it's nice to be able to cool off in the surf or a pool.
When the beach gets
too much -
there are always the theme parks!
Wet
'n' Wild and Whitewater
World are two great theme parks for this time of the year. |
|
Sea
World
and Dreamworld also have small water parks - so pack your swimming togs
and towel! Or book to swim with the sharks or a dolphin experience.
But
family holidays aren't the only reason
visitors flock to the Gold Coast in January.
Check
out Magic Millions
Horse
Racing Carnival. All the glamour of a premier Australian horse racing
event -
with lots of off racecourse activities around the coast.
|
Cool
off at SeaWorld with the
dolphins, book a dive with the
sharks or just bring your togs and towel for a splash in the water park.
|
Stay
in January and celebrate Australia Day in true Aussie style!

Tips for
Travelers to Gold Coast in January
|
For
Australian Visitors
Peak
summer vacation season for families with children. Book early for
good family accommodation – highly recommend air-conditioning.
|
|
For
Visitors from Overseas
This
is not my top pick of months to visit unless you want to see the Magic
Millions or cannot travel at any other time. Mostly because
it is
very busy and very hot! There are better times to see the
Gold
Coast!
An absolute must is good quality, air-conditioned accommodation in a
good
location. You will need to book early as it is peak season.
Some top picks for accommodation would be a good hotel, top quality
villa or
well-positioned apartment.
