Nature is the very best that the Gold Coast has to offer.
If you are traveling to the Gold Coast for any other reason than to view the sights that are indigenous to its coast, then you are going for all the wrong reasons. It is possible to go there and not spend a cent seeing all the most wonderful sights that it has to offer. The five free things to do in Gold Coast, are the five things that should not be missed or experienced, even if you have all the money in the world. Don’t miss out on having these amazing experiences:
1. Cycling at Darling Downs
2. 4WD the Outback
3. Camping in Whitsunday Island
4. Visiting a Foodie Market
5. Lying on a beach
If you are a bicycling enthusiast, or even if you are not, there is not a better trail to experience or to start with than the Darling Downs. So much to see, it is like finding your freedom again. The wind whipping through your hair while reconnecting with nature. You couldn't pay a fortune for that feeling. Take your car for a drive on the beach. There are not many places that allow you, encourage you, to take a drive on uncharted land. Imagine the top down and racing along the sand in your 4WD, you will feel like you just got your license all over again.
Who needs to pay for a hotel room? Camping is one of the best ways to feel a part of nature. Roll out your sleeping bag and sleep on the warm beaches at Whitsunday Island. Over 40 camp sites available, you can sleep out under the stars instead of buddying up to a television. The foodie markets are a sight to behold even if you don’t spend any money. Having all the local flavors and goods for purchase, walking through it is like an adventure all on its own. Finally, the very last, and most free thing available is to soak up the sun on one of Gold Coasts beautiful beaches. Nothing can rekindle the soul more than to just lay still and be quiet for a time being.
