2. The Gold Coast 600 – enough said

You can also take your kids out the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary or go whale watching with them. Mt. Tambourine with its spectacular views is also a place you should visit with your family. Several day cruises and tour guides will also be held and you can take part in any or all of them. You will not find a better time to enjoy the Gold Coast than in the month of October.
4. Plenty of school and public holidays
The Gold Coast experiences spring in October and there are plenty of school and public holidays in this month.
