We usually land in Brisbane and spend a couple of days at the Sheraton on the Gold Coast. In the City, you must walk the waterfront and the Koala Sanctuary is amazing. We’ve stayed at both the Westin and Marriott downtown. Both good.

Burleigh Heads Mt Tambourine and the Sky Walk are really nice places Surfers Paradise is very commercial, the Botanical gardens in Brisbane are nice as well. November is a good time to go because it's not super hot.

Silvana we will definitely update the group with some of our stops. One thing we are learning is to book early. This trip came up quickly so finding some of the areas are already booked. Ie Hamilton island.
