One of the events this month on the Gold Coast is the 2009 Super GP (formally Gold Coast Indy) which will be held at Surfers Paradise from October 22nd to the 25th). Judging from the preparations occuring since over a month, this promises to be a really big event bringing many racing enthousiasts to the area!
Five minutes drive from our place, one will find the Carrara Markets, Queensland's biggest and best permanent markets open every Saturday and Sunday with free entry and free parking. The markets boast over 500 stalls, so if you dont find it here at a bargain price, then you really dont need it! There are even pony rides and face painting for the kids. Fun for all!
Every first and third Sunday of the month at the Park in Broadbeach, one can find an Art and Craft Market magically set up in the early morning hours to admire and perhaps acquire the work of the local artists and crafters. Here one can find a lovely piece of artwork or jewellerie, can have ones fortune read, buy some locally grown fruits and veggies, bakery items, plants, home or bush remedies. Very interesting.
On Sunday morning, Regent and I drove to Coolangatta which is the most southern Gold Coast suburb, bordering New South Wales and Tweed Heads which is the most northern NSW suburb. The surfing beaches here are stunning and the headland at Coolangatta is truly breathtaking! We parked the car and walked the beach for many kilometres enjoying the scenery and some great people watching as these beaches are widely enjoyed by many locals and tourists alike. Very Zen!
We may have gone ahead and spent some of our kids inheritence, but not all of it... yet! Dont worry, be happy!
