| AIR TRAVEL |
The Gold Coast has its own airport, with many flights daily from Sydney, Melbourne, and some flights from nearby (100 km)Brisbane.
Please note: not all flights land at Gold Coast Airport, (sometimes called Coolangatta Airport). The Gold Coast airport is located about 5km from the venue, buses and taxis available from the airport.
If your plane lands at Brisbane airport (the next closest large airport) then you can easily catch a bus to the Gold Coast. |
| ROAD TRAVEL |
From Brisbane it is a one hour drive via the M1 freeway, turn off at Reedy Creek Rd (exit 85), down to Burleigh Heads, turn right along
Highway 2 (the Gold Coast Highway) for aprox 2km. The venue is on your left, immediately you cross the bridge at Tallebudgera Creek.
FROM SYDNEY it is aproximately 1000 km by the Pacific Highway. From Melbourne aproximately 2,000 km via Pacific Highway. Air travel can be cheaper than a long road trip and overnight stops. |
