July 22, 2012 Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, Queensland Australia.

We had a week in Noosa and it rained the hole time! Two nights in Brisbane, and just over two weeks at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast.

Broadbeach is a suburb on the Gold Coast, in Queensland, Australia. At the 2006 Census, Broadbeach had a population of 3,791.

Development in the area today mostly incorporates low rise structures, consisting of single bedroom houses and apartment blocks. Much of the suburb consists of canal waterways, including Lake Intrepid that are linked to the Nerang River.

Broadbeach is home to one of Queensland's largest shopping centres, Pacific Fair, which serves as the regional public transport hub, known as the Pacific Fair Bus Station. The area is also home to the Jupiters Hotel & Casino, the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Oasis Shopping Centre. Broadbeach Alliance manage the precinct and present annual events and festivals such as Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival, Broadbeach Jazz Festival and many moe throughout the year www.broadbeachgc.com. Well known apartment blocks include The Wave, The Oracle, Beach Haven, Niecon Plaza, the Hi-Ho Motel, Belle Maison, Bel Air and Air on Broadbeach. It wasn't until the construction of Lennon's Broadbeach Hotel (now the site of the Oasis Hotel and Shopping Centre) in 1955 that development in the area began to increase.

A monorail connects the Oasis Shopping Centre with Conrad Jupiters Casino, however the system is strictly privatised. The Gold Coast Oceanway provides pedestrians and cyclists access along the beaches of Broadbeach. The suburb contains a major road intersection between Nerang - Broadbeach Road and the Gold Coast Highway.

The Broadbeach Surf Life Saving Club patrols the beach in the centre of the suburb. Representing the suburb in the AFL Queensland State League and having its home ground at Merrimac Oval is the Broadbeach Australian Football Club. Other facilities include the Broadbeach Lawn Bowls Club the Broadbeach Surfschool which provides surfing training.
