Don't listen to these blokes they are being silly.
Try Redcliffe it has some great points better than goldie and noosa
Then head over to Toowoomba for night life and shopping for Jandals.
Then the biggest tip I could give,
drive inland and head south,avoid all beach breaks on NSW's coast till you get to Sydney, then knock yourself out with the plethora of surf breaks and shopping.. Feel the spirit of Sydney and other fellow Kiwis,Asians ,Middle Eastern,locals
