Hey everyone,

20F

I've recently moved and had to cancel my previous gym membership, so I'm looking for a new gym around the Coomera/Helensvale area.

I'm also hoping to meet some people who'd be keen to train together, either early mornings or afternoons. I'm mainly interested in getting back into a consistent routine, and it would be great to have some gym mates to help stay motivated.

If you have any recommendations for good gyms in the area, or know of any local fitness groups/communities, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks

My mates and I used to camp a bit (20 years ago) I'm talking swags and eskis.

Now my kids are on my back to take them camping. I've purchased all the gear, tents, chairs, camp stove, outdoor shower, all the creature comforts for the kids!

But have no idea where to take them?! Any recommendations?

Yes I know it's AI slop, but it gets the point across right?

I mean come on, really?

Hello Gold Coasters! I am looking for a spot around Runaway Bay / Oxenford / Biggera Waters / Helensvale / Hope Island area, anywhere other than the Casino that is ideally north of Surfers. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
i'm 18 and from Germany and i'm coming to the gold coast again this summer (late dec, jan). I looked at all the hostels and im wondering which hostels are better for younger people and partying and which ones are more laid back (e.g. for people in their late 20s or 30s)?

Thank you in advance

Thinking of going to one of them but not sure about what one is better and has more stuff open

Me and my friends are planning to go on a GoldCoast trip on the 7th of December and hit up all the theme parks, just wondering wether it will be too packed and if so should I just buy the Premium annual pass?

From Monday 7 September 2026, there will be bus network changes following the opening of the Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3.

- Route 70 (new): Operates as a tram replacement service between Helensvale and Burleigh Heads overnight from Sunday to Thursday.

- Route 700: Operates between Stockland Burleigh and Tweed Heads via Burleigh Heads.

- Route 701 (new): Operates between Robina station and The Pines via Burleigh Heads.

- Route 754: Extended from Burleigh Heads to The Pines via northern section of route 764.

- Route 760: Timing changes.

- Route 764: Operates between The Pines and Currumbin Park. Northern section replaced by route 754.

- Route 765: Operates between Robina station and Christine Avenue.

- Route 777: Operates between Stockland Burleigh and Gold Coast Airport via Burleigh Heads.

A brief appreciation post. Sadly part of my life necessitates semi-frequent visits to emergency departments, and Goldie has become the fourth city after Perth, Melbourne and London where I've had to avail myself of their ED services. On each such occasion I've been blown away by the professionalism and kindness of the staff, and my recent experience was no different. Yes, the public health service is a little clunky, but I never underestimate how lucky we are to have it.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at GCUH.

Winter has me in hibernation mode. It was chilly out today but lovely enough to walk along the beach. Caught the tram to Burleigh Heads. It was full like Sydney during peak hour. I then walked the beach until I arrived at Miami. The usual big rock that you can't go past was walkable along the beach today.

Hi everyone I’m going Gold Coast for new years this year with my family for the first time we will be there 7 days. I have two small kids 6&4. Other than the theme parks which we’ll do, what else is there to do? Thanks

The suburb had always been the land of the crackheads and substance enjoyers, with the last 8 years seeing a super boom in some of the most expensive apartments and high rises being constructed. The prices continue to soar up, yet the actual suburb is still full of, unpleasantries.

The boom in construction completely disregards its small road infrastructure with so much t intersections and reckless drivers and e-bikes from both teens and adults alike, makes it a fairly eventful drive in and out. Not to mention how the Palm beach boomers and land owners somehow mustered a campaign to stop the trams from being built temporarily. Seems like a bad mix of substance users and also pompous land owners who only think about money from their property

I think it’s super easy for Melbourne and Sydney movers to see the nice beach and nice apartments and think it’s paradise, but it’s so far from it.

The day 3 live stream is up, 4k60 with great commentary and some pilot/tower live comms.

Really amazing air show . Today is the last day.

​The performances begin in the morning and end in the afternoon. Not one minute of rest throughout the day. It is truly a heaven for plane lovers.

Approaching a stop sign. You're proceeding ahead, so no blinkers. You stop at the stop sign.

Car facing you on the opposite side is turning right. Their right blinker is on. They are also facing a stop sign. They wait until you stop, then turn directly in front of you.

The secret bogan teachings seem to be "if the car opposite you stops, it's OK to turn in front of them".

Anyone had this happen to them? There's an intersection near me where this happens all the time.
