Wear a raincoat and pack an umbrella

Sorry, just couldn't help myself....hehehe


EDIT: Would be wise to pack some warm clothes as the sea breeze can get a little chilly!

Hi dancheekymeeky, yes Robina shoppingtown is good but also Harbourtown Shopping Centre is full of outlets and has some great bargains and not far from me up on Tamborine Mt. looking down over the Gold Coast. Heaps of things to see here....rainforests, great shopping in Gallery Walk, MY GALLERY, ha ha, Glow worm caves, wineries, cheese factory oulet, breweries, old fashioned pubs, B & Bs, rockpools, views, fantastic art & craft market...................etc.
Just over 30 minutes from the Gold coast.
Susan : )
P.S. although it could rains in June it is not so likely as that is our dry season. We get our rain in the summer months normally.
I love our Autumn weather at the moment. : )

hi we went last year in june with a 3 yr and 2 yr old , beautiful weather about 25-27  every day  i would suggest to get your theme park tickets online it saved us alot of money (pm me if you want to know where we got ours ) , there is a thing called aqua duck it can go on land and water takes you around for sight seing cruise, theres ripleys belive it or not museum, time zone its huge in sufers main mall near the beach , we took the kids to currumbin wild life santuary they loved that

Where are you staying at? We always stay at Nobbys Beach. Love it there!
We dont even hire a car at the Gold Coast as the bus service is unreal! You just buy a weekly pass, it even takes you to the theme parks and brings you back.
Drops and picks up all along the Gold Coasy Highway.
You can buy theme park tickets cheaper on line through road service,( we are NRMA in NSW,) and sometimes vouchers are for sale on online auction places.
You will have a ball there! Marian
