The Basics
Just a couple of km across the NSW-QLD border lies a stretch of coast called the Gold Coast, due to its long beach(es). Generally flat and urban along the coast there is some good running in this holiday destination area, helped by its good climate, particulary in the Winter months. Inland, in the Hinterland, there are some great hills and great bush running too.
