Descriptions

DAY 1 Welcome to the Gold Coast

Feel the fun and excitement, see world-class beaches and witness the dramatic skyline unfold as you arrive at the Gold Coast. You will be transferred from the airport to your hotel. You can relax and use the rest of the day to explore your hotel and its facilities, perhaps take a stroll around the neighbourhood and central Gold Coast.

Arrival Transfer, Overnight Accommodation.

DAY 2 Lamington, Tamborine Mountain & O'Reilly's Retreat

Located atop a lush and verdant mountain in the heart of Lamington National Park, O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat is a wonderland of natural exotic beauty. Mist shrouded mountains, draped in subtropical rainforest, red cedar and rosewood, house a dazzling array of spectacular birds including crimson Rosella and green catbirds. Explore the enchanting rainforest, walk through the canopy of trees on the Tree Top Walk and visit the fantastical World Heritage listed Lamington National Park to see the wonder and beauty of Mother Nature at its most breathtaking.

Today we visit the Gold Coast Hinterland, Canungra, Tamborine Mountain, Lamington National Park and the famous O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat. The mountain top's subtropical rainforest features vine clad vegetation, ancient tree species, over 500 waterfalls and 250 species of unique wildlife. Views go right out to the Gold Coast and the Pacific Ocean. The pioneering O'Reilly family have been synonymous with this region since 1912. O'Reilly's is located on the western edge of the Lamington Plateau and is also blessed with spectacular vistas across the Kerry Valley over the McPherson Ranges and the Great Dividing Range. Escape to a world of ancient forests, fresh mountain air, crystal clear creeks and breathtaking sunsets.

Your friendly driver will pick you up in the comfortable air-conditioned luxury coach before sharing experiences, fascinating facts and enchanting stories in the onboard full commentary throughout the day. We travel deep into the Gold Coast hinterland via Canungra and Tamborine Mountain. Head inland into the mountain range of eucalypt forest and onto Mt Tamborine, stopping at Gallery Walk (boasting over 70 art, craft, gift and knick-knack shops) with plenty of time to wander through this quaint village. Continue through the winding forest road to The Goat's Track (original logging route), see spectacular scenery of ancient beech trees and subtropical rainforests, pass the Kokoda Army Barracks Jungle Warfare Training Centre, enter Lamington National Park (lush rainforests, ancient trees, spectacular views, extensive walking tracks, exceptional ecological importance and natural beauty of World Heritage Area listed Gondwana Rainforests), hear the stories of the heroic rescue by Bernard O'Reilly of the Stinson plane crash survivors and the fascinating life of these early pioneers, immerse yourself in the surrounds of the subtropical rainforest of the Green Mountains. Visit O'Reilly's Plateau and the mountain top retreat for around 2 hours enjoying a tour through the mountain village, marvel at the spectacular views of the mountain ranges and learn more of the ecosystem and prolific unique wildlife and plants. Take the Tree Top Walk through a canopy of flowering and fruiting trees covered by vines, whilst you explore the epiphytic orchids and ferns surrounded by the many tree-top birds and animals. It is 180 metres in length and is made up of 9 suspension bridges (some as high as 30 metres off the ground). Interpretive profiles explain the rainforest species visible. Perhaps feed crimson rosellas and king parrots, perhaps try the rainforest Segway Tour. On the journey back down to the Gold Coast we visit an alpaca farm (or Kamarun Lookout on Tuesdays). The memory these remarkable mountain top views, the lush rainforest and the crisp mountain air will be cherished for a long time.

Breakfast, Luxury Day Tour with Hotel Pick-Up, O'Reilly's, Tree Top Walk, Overnight Accommodation.

DAY 3 Surfers Paradise, Cruise & Outback Spectacular Show Special Dinner

Surfers Paradise is the aptly named and world-famous jewel of the Gold Coast. Sun-kissed surfers ride the white crested waves under glorious blue skies, golden sands glisten and shimmer in the warmth of the sun. It's the entertainment hub of the Gold Coast, with winding streets full of galleries, shops, alfresco cafes, restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs. The vibrant, fun atmosphere is lively and energetic. With attractions galore, including theme parks, quality shopping and a thriving arts and culture scene, you'll see first-hand just why this is one of Australia's premier destinations. Surfers Paradise is flanked by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the spectacular Gold Coast Broadwater-Way on the other side, well known for its swanky million dollar real-estate.

Today you will experience an amphibious tour of the Surfers Paradise strip and cruise the Gold Coast Broadwater-Way. It's a combined land tour and cruise in the same 'duck' vehicle. We start off with a tour through the bustling streets of Surfers, including along glorious beaches, to the six-star Versace Hotel, the resort-style exotic Marina and the Mirage Shopping Centre. We then drive right into the water, where the bus turns into a boat and we start our cruise on the beautiful Broadwater-Way near the fabulous millionaires' row. The Broadwater-Way extends for 19 kilometres and includes Spit arm, Marine Stadium, Fisherman’s Wharf, Spit foreshore, Sea World, Fishing fleet, Versace Hotel, Marina Mirage, Water Police, Southport Yacht Club, Pelican Beach at Main Beach, Southport Parklands, Marine Parade, Harley Park Labrador, Paradise Point and the Esplanades of Biggera Waters, Runaway Bay and Hollywell. Enjoy morning tea and our entertaining and informative commentary.

Tonight's Special Dinner is at the Outback Spectacular Show. The all-new $23 million 'Spirit of the Horse' extravaganza show features highly entertaining larger than life characters. One of Australia's most legendary stories is brought to life in the specially designed world class arena. Be thoroughly entertained by an amazingly talented cast of performers, skilled stockmen and a huge array of incredible animals including horses, cattle, sheep, dogs and even Shetland ponies. Stunning special effects will have you on the edge of your seat as we pay tribute to the legend that is Phar Lap. You're treated to a stirring musical score composed exclusively for the show, as well as popular music composed and written by country music legend Lee Kernaghan. This magical combination provides a musical feast to complement your delicious 3 course BBQ Special Dinner. A mouth-watering and tantalizing array of food is served during the show, including a barbecue tenderloin beef steak with rich gravy and seasoned with Kakadu plum sauce, served with garden vegetables and a tasty mixed Queensland salad with tangy mango dressing and rolled in a flat bread swag. Dessert is a traditional baked Pavlova with Queensland berries and country cream and bush billy tea. Vegetarian, children's and special diet options available. Beer, wine or soft drinks are served throughout the show. Tonight is a Special Dinner and show you are sure to talk about for years to come.

Breakfast, Amphibious Tour & Cruise, Morning Tea, Souvenir, Special BBQ Dinner and Show with Hotel Pickups, Overnight Accommodation.

DAY 4 Byron Bay & Mt Warning Volcano

Byron Bay is world-renowned for its sensational surfing beaches, stunning rural beauty and relaxed bohemian ambience. It's a chic seaside town with a new-age feel and loads of style. It is considered the spiritual home of Australia's hippy movement and its laid-back lifestyle and outstanding natural beauty has attracted artists of all types. This iconic destination is set against a gorgeous backdrop of lush and verdant volcanic hills. Pods of majestic humpback whales gambol in the turquoise ocean, huge tail-fins rising from deep-blue seas. Reinvigorate body and mind in world-class spas and health retreats. Byron Bay will enchant, captivate and charm you.

See the lighthouse high on the crest of Cape Byron, dramatic cliffs dropping down to the ocean, endless stretches of pristine beaches and lush rainforests. Visit Australia's most easterly point at Cape Byron. Wander through the township with its friendly village atmosphere and meet some of Byron's colourful mix of people (many enjoying an alternative 'off the grid' life-style). The region is a hippie haven, with a Hemp Embassy, a museum showcasing Kombi culture and celebrates everything non-mainstream. From international musicians and world renowned sculptors to surfers and novelists, the region continues to inspire people to create things and express themselves freely. Visit artists’ studios, boutique galleries and the handimarket.

We tour south through the Gold Coast's sprawling beaches and suburbs, see well known beaches and suburbs. Cross the state border from Queensland to New South Wales, see Tweed Heads, tour through the Tweed Valley (heart of sugar cane country), along the NSW North Coast's Northern Rivers region, past Mount Warning (volcanic feature of the Tweed Volcano), Wollumbin National Park and onto fashionable Byron Bay. See Cape Byron Headland Reserve (a protected coastal rainforest) and Cape Byron Lighthouse (built in 1901 and the most easterly point of Australia). Spend plenty of time exploring Byron Bay - perhaps browse the handicraft markets, shops, galleries, artisans’ studios, enjoy a leisurely lunch, a walk or swim at the beach or just relax and watch the interesting and colourful locals. Discover the main streets of Bay Lane, Johnson Street and Lawson Street. Byron Bay is well known for its creativity, with many locals making fascinating items to sell at the markets. Local producers from surfboard and hat makers to cookie and corn chip chefs have all helped Byron Bay become known as a place that produces top quality products made with "care and love". This afternoon en route back to the Gold Coast, we stop off at Tropical Fruit World for afternoon tea.

Today you have a full day pass to explore Sea World at your own pace. Make friends with some remarkable characters of the sea, such as playful dolphins, cute polar bears, hilarious seals and even dancing penguins.

Domestic border restrictions have ended for nearly all States, meaning you:

  • don’t need to apply for a border pass

However, some States and service operators do require proof of vaccination. So all that is required to travel for most Discover Australia packages is to be fully vaccinated. Even WA has now opened up! It is expected that any remaining temporary restrictions will end or ease over coming weeks – since all governments have detailed strategies to live with Covid and to enable their tourism industry to flourish again.
