Allow one full day per theme park and an early night if you want to visit Movie world, Sea world or Dream world back to back. Great fun but it's a big day.

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PLACES TO VISIT

I know my way around the Gold Coast so if a day or 2 down there interests you, just let me know.

The Gold Coast offers world class beaches, awesome surf spots, Movie World, Wet and Wild, Sea World, Dream World and a different selection of activities and shopping.

It's a 2 hr flight south from Cairns, or approximately a 1900Km drive.
You will incur extra costs to go there but it's a great place to finish off your Extreme Week.

Bear in mind that the theme parks are very busy during school holidays, public holidays and the weekends. You can spend 20-40 minutes and more in cues to get on some rides. Mid week off peak visits are the best times to go.
