Broadbeach has a lot of offer anyone visiting Queensland for a holiday, but I highly advise spending the extra money to be staying in a Broadbeach accommodation right on the beach, or at least have a view of beach. Even if you come from a city near or on the shore, chances are that you’ve never seen such topaz blue waves rolling in over long stretch of pristine beach that goes as far as the eyes can see in either direction. It’s truly a site to behold and makes me wonder why I didn’t come to Australia sooner! more »

This was my first backpacking trip to Brisbane, but it definitely won’t be my last. Me and a bunch of buddies stayed at the Brisbane Backpackers Hostel, because we heard it had a pool and a hot tub. That was fabulous; I have been backpacking before and never paid just over $20 for a place that had a hot tub.
The rooms weren’t huge, but they weren’t cramped, and the whole place was really clean. There were also tennis courts, as well as a free bus to the transit centre every hour. The resort isn’t way out of the city center, but the free bus made getting around way easier. more »
