Looking for active friends!

Hey all! I'm 28M and have spent a few years living overseas where I loved how active my friendship circle was (hiking, skiing, camping, live music, board games etc). I miss this feeling a lot and wanted to see if there were like minded people about (the life's too short to sit around type).

I have a wide range of hobbies ranging from hiking, learning to surf, photography, board games, learning to skate and always keen to learn new hobbies too.

Looking to build a community of genuine and fun friends that hopefully see the world in a similar way.

Coolangatta vs Gold Coast for Family Friendly

Hi all, I'm surprising my partner to a week long getaway to the Gold Coast. I have tentatively booked a self contained apt on Cavill Ave. However the Sebel in Coolangatta looks amazing and has a great deal at the moment. I have a 7yo and 5yo coming and we'll be doing most of the theme parks. Hiring a car. Anyway, question is...would Cooley be too far away for daily travels to theme parks etc and is it much of a sacrifice missing the vibes of Surfers etc? Help me decide please!

Park for a 3rd birthday party

Hey everyone,

My twins are turning three and I am organising their birthday party (Expecting 20 people).

Any ideas what would be the best park. We live in Carrara but don’t think the botanic gardens will work as it’s too open and the park is a bit too grown up.

Looking for shade, a park and hopefully a fence around the lot

Welcome your thoughts

Are you from the Gold Coast?

Humans of the Gold Coast. Specifically those who grew up here and still live here. What are the thoughts on your 'home' is it changing? For those who did, are you happy you 'grew up' on the Gold Coast and would you bring up your kids here now? Are there any challenges that are specific to the Gold Coast? Wondering how y'all feel lol.

Lost and found website for GC

Hi guys! Just in case you’ve lost or found something. I've been working on this passion project for a couple months now. I created a lost and found website for the Gold Coast called Fyndly (https://fyndlys.com). You can use it to post items you've found or stuff you've lost as well as message each other. Thank you and hope you’ll find it useful!

Anyone know any Spanish restaurants that have people who actually speak Spanish?

Hey guys,

So I'm looking at Spanish restaurants on the Gold Coast, and it really warms my heart to see so many options. I don't live near the Gold Coast, so I haven't been to any of these before (visiting the Gold Coast for a weekend soon). So I wanted to ask you guys who live on the Gold Coast (or at least visit very frequently), does anyone know any Spanish restaurants that actually have Spanish speaking staff? Or is it a Spanish speaking country only thing.

Thanks!

Any hope soon on expansion of Gold Coast International Flights?

Currently only international flights to NZ or Bali (temp. flights to HK for Chinese new year)

I was in Bangkok trying to get home and flights were mostly sold out or over $2000, unless you wanted a 3 flight 33 hour journey for a bit less. I had to spend $2300 to get back just to Brisbane, followed by train and uber.

WTF, people are travalling in droves outside Aus. and a holiday destination like GC has basically only Bali direct access (NZ doesnt count ;)) We at least need direct flights to a transit hub like KL, singapore or Bangkok.

Theres been a few threads in the last year about the dire flight options for direct to/from OOL and the state of the GC airport costs.

Is there any good news on the horizon?

If the management of OOL are so bad, can't QLD gov. step in or something to improve things?

Who do I need to write an letter to about improving this?

French bulldogs

Just wanting to know if there's any frenchie owners out there who have any tips or tricks to stop their dogs from barking, my girlfriend has one and she can't leave the house for no longer than 2 minutes cause he starts barking when she isn't with him, she's tried using a barking monitor and tried using calming drops and neither of them seem to work, she's pretty much tried most solutions and not having much luck.

Bloody footprints in southport

Coming back from work today i saw bloody footprints all around where the westpac branch is in southport. I did not saw any ambulance or police there and the footprints were also of someone bare feet. They were all over the place and felt like maybe someone injured was running away. I tried to search that on google but nothing came up.

Just wondering if someone knows anything about this or what happened there ?
