June 2025

The events on the Gold Coast this month include Cooly Rocks On in Coolangatta from 4th-8th. The main street will be lined with a show of 'Show N Shine' vehicles, scooters, bikes & hot rods, plus live music, dancing, markets and a Pin Up Pageant! On the weekend of 28th-29th the Mudgeeraba Agricultural Show is on at the Mudgeeraba Showgrounds, a great day out for the family! There's equestrian, cattle & sheep competitions, mini goats, pig racing, woodchopping, animal nursery, rides, live entertainment, milking station and a firework & laser show! Also for the family, the Monster Machinery Day at the Broadwater Parklands on the 22nd has live machinery demonstrations, a rock climbing wall, train rides and a huge sand pit for the kids.

An Australian exclusive exhibition from the British Library and National Portrait Gallery London is being presented as Writers Revealed at the HOTA Gallery until 3rd August 2025, a treasure chest from as far back as six centuries of world famous portraits of literary legends, rare manuscripts, letters and more to observe.

Movieworld has recently opened a world-first 'WIZARD OF OZ' precinct featuring new family-friendly rides, including The flight of The Wicked Witch and the family boomerang racer, Kansas Twister. We have had quite a few families visit Bluey's World in Brisbane since it's opening last November, it's a huge attaction for the kids and well worth a visit if your kids (and you!) love the Bluey TV Series.

If you're a Harry Potter fan, for a limited time only, Sirromet Winery is hosting a 'Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest' experience, explore the dark depths of the forest and the wizardry world, located at Mt Cotton, just south of Brisbane.

Other matters: School holidays are over, so you shouldn't expect to encounter too many crowds at the tourist attractions, and the beaches won't be quite as populated.

All beaches are patrolled from 8am-5pm during Queensland School Holidays, most are patrolled all year round. Never swim outside the flags or at beaches not patrolled by Life Guards. Here is a link to a map of patrolled Gold Coast beaches

There are many excellent picnic areas on the Gold Coast, a favourite being Tallebudgera Lagoon on the south side of the Burleigh Headland and the Gold Coast Botanic Gardens in Benowa.

We also have several local markets offering fresh produce, unique arts & craft, fashion, entertainment and street food. Click on this link Gold Coast markets to find locations.

The Gold Coast also has an endless supply of retail shopping including Australia's largest outlet shopping centre at Harbour Town. See the list below.

For nature lovers and bush walkers, Springbrook National Park and Tamborine Mountain on the Scenic Rim are a must for this time of year, be sure to take a hat and plenty of water! For the kids, Tamborine Mountain has the Glow Worm Caves and Thunderbird Park where you can fossick for gemstone filled Thundereggs.
