Creative Writing Tours Gold Coast Itinerary
The sunny Gold Coast - where the hinterland converges upon the sun and sand in complete harmony, is just an hour from Brisbane and an hour from Byron Bay and hosts a plethora of experiences. Commune with nature, dip your toes in the ocean, laze in the sand, be entertained by local art-houses or enjoy some amazing local cuisines, wines and shopping as part of your creative writing experience.
This idyllic location is perfect to awaken a smorgasbord of senses and stimulate the creative juices. The mornings will be spent honing your craft and then you have the afternoons and evenings to take a tour. Our début and last evening will be shared as a celebration and this is included in the fee.
Accommodation
The gold Coast boasts beauty in the hinterland and along the beaches. We have two locations which are ideally situated and they will keep everyone together. This is more fun, safer and keeps the group together in a connected way.

The day begins with a morning beach walk and Aussie style breakfast before moving on to our Creative Writing Classes and after lunch there is free time where you can visit Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, a delight for local and international visitors where you can see and touch koalas, kangaroos and other Australian fauna. Or if you want a bit more excitement you can visit one of the theme parks, Movie World, Sea-world, Dream World and Wet N Wild. For those seeking some solitude to entice the creative senses you can rake a trip out to Mount Warning our spiritual centre and home to indigenous stories. The Gold Coast has a plethora of things to inspire and entertain, so whether you put your dancing shoes on in one of our nightclubs in Surfers Paradise - or simply kick back on our famous beaches, your Creative Writing Tour with us will fill your sense.

Beach-time and coffee
Australia has a reputation of strength when it comes to our beaches. As part of our planned activities we will put our feet in the sand, swim in the crystal water and finish off with home-grown coffee at one of our favourite cafes.
We may be lucky to find a whale in transit or a pod of dolphins, we will certainly see world-famous surfers and our iconic life-guard stations.

Q 1
The world's tallest residential tower is also the only observation deck in Australia by the beach. And it is also the venue for my book-launch last year! Clearly recognisable among the Gold Coast's many high rises, the landmark Q1 is a great starting point for tourists. With an impressive 97.7 metre spire, it takes 43 seconds to get to the top by elevator. You will be amazed at the length of the coastline, which stretches out as far as the eye can see in both directions.
