My second destination! (Queensland)


Hey.
Right now I am in a city called Queensland. It's great! The temperate here is 25 degrees which is really nice! I am having a great time so far and have enjoyed staying here!
The Gold Coast is a city and is found in the southeast corner of Queensland. Queensland is the second most popular city in the state and sixth most populous in the country. The Gold Coast is known for it's subtropic climate and the great beaches!

Captain James Cook was the first European to discover the Gold Coast when he sailed across it in May 16, 1770. The Gold Coast stretches from Beenleigh to the southern area of Logan City, for approximately 60km. The main river in the Gold Coast is the Nerang River. This City consists of 57 kilometres of coastline and has many great surf beaches such as South Stradbroke island, The Spit, Main Beach, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Nobby Beach, Miami, Burleigh Beach, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach and a lot more. The population of this city is around 527,660. The beaches here are a lot of fun! So far I've been to Surfers Paradise and Nobby Beach, I have had a great time! In a way I will miss this place because it was a great destination to visit and learn about. Right now I better get back to packing my suitcase for tomorrow because I will be leaving the Gold Coast and going to my next destination.
Bye for now.
