Schlagwort: Hinterland Queensland

The Gold Coast is a major coastal region in southeastern Queensland, Australia, located approximately 70 kilometres south of Brisbane along the Coral Sea. It extends from the New South Wales border in the south to the southern suburbs of Brisbane in the north and encompasses a diverse range of landscapes, including sandy ocean beaches, coastal dunes, estuarine waterways, lowland plains, and mountainous hinterland areas. The region is one of Australia’s most significant urban and tourism centers, with a population exceeding half a million residents and a strong emphasis on coastal living, recreation, and service-based industries. Climatically, the Gold Coast experiences a humid subtropical climate characterized by warm summers, mild winters, and seasonally variable rainfall, influenced by both maritime conditions and orographic effects from the hinterland ranges.
