An Australian Las Vegas

The gold coast is every bit as tacky and commercial as you think it will be! With a stretch of swamp south of Brisbane to play with, developers have gone crazy wtih casinos, 5 theme parks and endless clubs and restaurants. All catering for the lowest common dollar.

They seem to be working well though as money floods into thisregion faster than any other. I'm currently at the southern end, picturesquely by the airport. The skyline is dominated by cranes with more high rises going up.

This is comepletely different to Byron Bay. And I've worked out that this is what Byron is the alternative of! Ah well, I might as well check out the tack as I'm here.

When in Rome....
