Middle Aged Mama on the Gold Coast

Janet Camilleri · 02/10/2013 ·

Last week I shared some of my pics from the Problogger Event.

This week, I want to give you a glimpse of Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, where it was held – and the Moroccan Apartments, where I stayed.

Enjoy!

Have you ever been to the Gold Coast? Where do you usually stay?

    Never been to the Gold Coast, planning to next year. Looks amazing, can’t wait.

      Yes I was pretty happy with it. Something so relaxing about an ocean view 🙂

      I remember going to the Whitsundays years ago and being incredibly disappointed with their crappy beaches – not a patch on the GC!

    I have wondered what those apartments were like! A shame all the bikie dramas happening at the mo, can’t be good for our area 🙁 🙁

      They’re gorgeous inside Emily, recently renovated – maybe I should share the pics of the inside next Wordless Wednesday!

      I know, such a shame that a few can ruin it for everybody else. Hopefully the state government offering rewards will help get the bikies back under control!

    I love the Goldcoast for holiday. Perhaps right up the norther end.

      Yes there are some lovely quieter spots on the GC … love Tallebudgera campground; Coolangatta to the south and into NSW; and Paradise Point to the north.

    How nice is Surfers Paradise! Went there once and absolutely loved it!

      I’m lucky it’s practically in my own backyard!

    I love the GC, but in saying that we practically NEVER go to Surfers. We do go to broadbeach a lot, which worries me about the bikies etc. But I figure they’ve always been around, and I’m yet to personally witness anything. I hope that track record stays in tact.
