Dreamworld
Well before it became the home of Big Brother Australia, Dreamworld on the Gold Coast made its name as the home of the Big 5 Thrill Rides. Here you can tackle The Tower of Terror, which propels you at 160kph up 38 stories in 7 seconds, The Giant Drop, the tallest free falling ride in the world or Wipeout, a five minute ride that will make you think youve just been dumped big wave riding in Maui. Rounding out the Big 5 is the Cyclone, 13 stories and 1000 tons of roller coasting madness andThe Claw, a first of its kind in Australia, 9 story high pendulum that thrusts thrill seekers a full 360 degrees at 75kph. For the little ones Wiggles World is a must see, with the Big Red Car, Captain Featherswords Ship and Dorothys Tea Cup Ride all featuring. After all this excitement, Tiger Island provides you with some much needed quiet time and gives you the rare chance to observe the strength and beauty of Dreamworld's own spectacular Bengal tigers. Arguably Australias favourite theme park, Dreamworld is easily accessible being just an hour's drive south of Brisbane or a quick bus ride from the Gold Coast.
Wet n Wild
The name says it all when it comes to Australias biggest water theme park, Wet n Wild on the Gold Coast. The first stop for most is the Kamikaze, a unique combination wet/dry attraction and the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Water spray jets provide a seamless surface on the giant U-shaped slide as rafts are channelled furiously to the bottom. Thrill seekers wont be able to get enough of this latest addition, as riders plunge down a steep 11m drop at an angle of 70 degrees, creating an almost zero gravity like feel. Reaching speeds of up to 50kph, ride this one if you dare! Action is also a plenty in the newly opened H2O Zone where the Tornado, the Black Hole and the Mach 5 thrill rides will keep your heart firmly planted in your throat! Whitewater Mountain is a must for the whole family. Here you down one of four whitewater flumes to the splashdown pool below. If your buttons, you can hit the swell at the Giant Wave Pool where the The Billy Lids will love Buccaneer Bay aquatic adventure playground with and giant water tipping bucket drenching all the little hearties below. ride 150 metres th is doesnt push surf is always up. its many activities

Hellenika
Lamb shoulder. Thats all you need to know to add Hellenika to your list of must-tries. This Greek restaurant in Nobbys Beach not only has some of the best atmosphere and dcor along the coast, it also has the juiciest, falling-off-the bone lamb shoulder to be eaten. Ever. Hellenika is on the side of one of the busiest highways in Australia, however the unlikely setting makes the cosy and welcoming atmosphere inside even more surprising. Owned by a Greek and with an Irish head chef, the food is traditional but with a modern take. Its also one of the best spots for a long Sunday lunch, just be prepared to leave full!
