The ground is shocking it can be so cold out there even by Melbourne standards on a winters night.
But I agree i love the touristy nature of it. I like tourism though. Great industry.
I love it that australia has a gold coast.
Driving north through the sleepy north coast nsw towns, pass the unfortunate bourgeoisie sewer of byron bay and then when you hit Coolie.
Its like Australia in all its glory.
Youâde be just fine jumping off the bridge Ewok. Sharks are repelled by Ewok meat. Just donât go swimming at night in canals. (Between all the media beat-ups about flotillas of rabid bull sharks, uncontrollable Yoof crime, the epidemic of one-punch attacks, a flood of drink-spiking date rape, hordes of moped hoons, the Southport zombie plague and the local thieves guild of high-rise spiderman burglars I wonder how anybody survives around here.)
Tallebudgera Creek!
Love that place. Jump off that with my kids.
I used to live in Byron.
When you live in Byron you learn to avoid tourists, downtown and the traffic. Walking towards The Pass in the evening, seeing whales 100 metres offshore alongside the surfers, walking up to the lighthouse. Byron still has some magic but itâs getting more difficult to find amongst the crowds.
Do you live north of south of Burleigh?
If you are miserable in Melbourne slip on your virtual boardies and thongs and take this tonic of a relaxing walk around Broadbeach on the Glorious GC with a sunny 4K Ambient walk!
Yeah its an incredibly naturally beautiful place thatâs progressively changing.
Personally i dont like seeing those lovely north coast towns full of gigantic concete mcmansions you see wealthy people build in the cities.
For me all those places are 70s shacks, relaxed places stuck in time.
Byron hasnt been that place for probably 25-30 years. Instead its millionaires building ridiculously palatial pads.
But thankfully Byron has taken one for the team so other towns can still have that sleepy charm. Even in the byron shire
Thatâs why @Nexta loves posting about war zones.
I donât see that as the real Good Coast.
I see North of Burleigh which includes Surfers Paradise and itâs a â â â â hole.
South of Burleigh itâs quiet and itâs like a 70s beach town.
have lived on currumbin beach, varsity lakes, ashmore and about to move to upper coomeraâŚso keep heading north.
I have kids in brisbane and sunshine coast so moving north makes sense.
10 years ago I moved from a byron paradise to live on a main road in a tiny apartment in china. I adjusted within a week and loved the experience. I realised that it doesnât matter where you live, itâs more about work, family and lifestyle, and creating a space for that to be good.
Beautiful Burleigh on the Glorious GC. Where in Summer the Hipster density (measured on the Hipsterscale of Hipsters per m²) becomes the highest in the world, surpassing even inner Melbourne.
this thread has very quickly devolved into a place for Nexta to post his creepshot videos of teenagers in bikinis.
Excuse me, they are 4K ambient walkthroughs of the Glorious GC showcasing the local attractionsâŚ
What time of day is this taken Nexta?
3:55pm according to the YT Blurb
Had a few, nice drop!
Thatâs an intrinsic part of the Gold Coast lifestyle.
Compared to the frigid southern climes, on the Glorious GC there is such a prevalence of bikini clad women every day of the year at all hours that it is just a part of the natural environment. Far from being titillating, it is so much a part of the esprit du lieu that we locals hardly bat an eyelid, maybe sometimes suppress a contented yawn.
The Glorious GC: As nature intended
this is not the hot chicks thread.
