I often have to slap myself to realise what a gorgeous place I live in. The Gold Coast in South East Queensland is a tourist hotspot and during peak holiday times can get extremely busy and crowded. However, where I live on the mid Gold Coast at Burleigh Heads it seems to have taken a…

My town, Burleigh Heads must have in excess of 40 coffee shops stretching from West Burleigh, Central Burleigh to North Burleigh. They range from kiosk or nook style, to chain shops such as Zarraffas or the Coffee Club, to trendy ‘shabby-chic’ cafes where all the cool people hang out.

This is my town – the place I call home on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. It is worlds apart from the dreadfully touristy city of Surfers Paradise, which is only a mere 12 kilometres away. Burleigh Heads has a small village atmosphere with an eclectic style which gives it a laid back easy-going vibe. It…

Located just off the Gold Coast Highway between Burleigh Heads and Palm Beach, the picturesque Tallebudgera Creek (or Tallie) is the ideal spot for a picnic, water skiing, fishing, lounging on the sandy shores, playing with the kids, snorkelling, paddling a kayak or stand-up paddle board or taking a relaxing stroll. On the northern side…
