Sunshine State (AUS) - Here I come!

Ask Ozzie ... this member knows why.
 
I am going to Qld in late July too. I am heading up to far north Qld for a week to see my sister who lives there. :)
 
Haha, nice! I am staying at a friend's in Gold Coast

"Why was it called the Gold Coast? In the late 1940's, Brisbane journalists called the coast, south of Brisbane, "the Gold Coast" - it was the place to buy and sell land in the postwar real estate boom. The local council thought that it was a good promotional name and on 23 October 1958, the South Coast Town Council adopted the name Gold Coast Town Council. Officially the Queensland State Government proclaimed the Local Authority of the city of the Gold Coast on 16 May 1959. The Place Names Board of Queensland officially gazetted the place name in April 1980."
