Overall: we have spent 7 full days in Gold Coast, very relaxing. We didn’t book everything in advance so cannot get the cheapest deal but it is very good to allow for flexibility depending on weather and energy level. We have a group of 10 people with 2 seniors, 4 adults and 4 kids (age 4-7)

Weather : mostly sunny, very warm during day time and we put on short sleeves t-shirt. Need a jacket at night time or morning.

Day 1
8am Brisbane airport arrival and pick up car in Budget

Car rental - Budget website booking in advance. 8 seated car for 6 people with two child seat. Quite expensive - AUD 1400~ including full insurance

11am lunch at Charis Seafood Market. Fresh oysters, cooked prawn, crab, fried seafood, grilled fish. Picnic outside the seafood market, with a playground next to us.

1.30pm watched pelican feeding

4pm arrive in Clandulla Cottage (booked through booking.com) for farm day. We booked three rooms so we can occupy whole cottage. Cottage is very clean, nicely decorated, well maintained. Kids can play swing, tennis, ball games, ball pool games in the farm. There are birds and peacocks around us and also our favourite kangaroo Jojo and Wallaby Aussie.

5pm animal feeding - kids favourite activity in the farm to feed birds, chicken, sheep, cow, horse, pig....and count the eggs from the chicken!

Dinner at cottage (pre order with farm owner John), AUD$25 per meal, taste good but not cheap.

Beautiful sky full of stars at night. John also showed us Venus and Jupiter.

Early arrival before 8am is recommended if you want to feed thebird and for street parking

We didn’t see any in Natural bridge. But we were there around 2-3pm so maybe it’s not dark enough.

John (farm owner) told us glow worm can be seen in Mount Tamborine but we didn’t go.

We took three hour cruise. First hour and last hour is to travel to the Pacific Ocean. We saw whales and dolphins on and off during the middle one hour. And we heard whales singing too (emoji)
