Winter on The Gold Coast
Winter on the Gold Coast is a beautiful time of year, the days are sunny and clear and start and end with the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Temperatures average about 20 degrees for most of winter, and while this might not make perfect beach weather, it does mean there’s no uncomfortable heat! What’s on this winter on the Gold Coast:
