    Gold Coast was so different along the top of the beach in the various areas such as surfers paradise, broadbeach.. Noosa was beautiful and I will be back! Loved Australia zoo! So clean! Public toilets the cleanest I’ve seen anywhere and really well thought out - big cubicles for adults and children, free sanitary products for women.. Many venues could learn a thing or two from this place! zoo itself very open and well maintained grounds.. I don’t like Zoos due to confinement of animals, though I understand conservation and preservation of species etc.. Though this place had a lovely feel.. Brisbane was a flying visit.. Now up in Townsville, which should be full of travellers.. It’s such a vast old town, but empty in the older streets as people on the strand.. Put it on your list of places to visit people!
