...shops selling cheap tourist paraphenalia
- Yeah, cheap to make, but not to buy ;) -- Tim

- I think it's ironic that they're made in china, and then all the tourists, including chinese tourists, come to buy them. But I guess that doesn't just apply to the Gold Coast...I mean, where's the mass-production sweat shop in Uluru?
OK, I've added some piccies. Now to actually write something. Maybe tomorrow... - Gaz 12:33, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I've moved the following section from the article to here so the article didn't look too much like a work in progress:
To be covered:
- A City Council that is making genuine progress with community consultation on projects that affect the community - great on-line surveys - yes but do they actually do anything with the surveys?
- History of the region (first surfers in the 1950s, development through the Joh era, the arrival of Japanese tourists and developers in the 1980s).
- Description of the city (mention the hinterland development, for instance, the theme parks, the casino, golf courses etc).
- Environmental issues (they have to pump the sand onto the beaches)
- Reputation in Australia (cultural desert, retirement home, wonderful world class surf beaches)
- visitors guide (best time to visit, major events, etc).

The section on Lamington National Park is just begging for someone to do a page on the history of O'Reilly's, the wreck of the Stinson would provide some good material.
I've sent an email off to through the official OReillys website to ask if we could reproduce the articles they have on their website concerning the history of the family etc, here on Wikipedia.
The website is at http://www.oreillys.com.au/content/home.asp?name=Home

I've noticed the categorising for the suburbs of the Gold Coast has for the most part followed the convention of <suburb name>, Queensland|<suburb name>, with the exception of the Surfers Paradise. Since Surfers Paradise is in an early stage should a new stub be created for Surfers Paradise which follows the same convention as the other suburbs? --Randolph 04:39, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Anon user
Hi everyone I am your anon user who added to the lead section and added the law and politics section. Sorry to be so cloak and dagger, I only signed up to wikipedia this morning (30/12/05.)
In regards to Lifestyle, I agree with Randolph that it appears to be some kind of softcore pornographic glamourisation and is removed from the subject matter. I recommend deletion. DB 10:32, 30 December 2005 AEST
New Montage?
Hey fellow Wikipedians, I changed the old montage to "File:Gold Coast summer, Burleigh Heads Beach.jpg". As I felt the old montage did not do justice to the Gold Coast, the picture of the skyline was from the canals and did not show the beach culture and full skyline like the one I replaced it with. The other images were of fairly bad quality or ordinary places like HabourTown. The QLD/NSW border line is also irrelevant, as well as the image of Seaworld. Would a fellow help design a new montage, I think that the main skyline image should be File:Gold Coast summer, Burleigh Heads Beach.jpg, along with a image of Dreamworld Entrance (Australia's largest amusement park and deserves a place in the montage more than SeaWorld does) maybe this one, File:Dreamworld Entrance.jpg? An image of Springbrook National Park, maybe this one File:Springbrook Cave.jpg? An image of Carrara Stadium, which would show the future host stadium of the 2018 Commonwealth games, File:Sunny Carrara Stadium (cropped).jpg. An image of Chevron Renaissance shopping lane, showing the eclectic nature of the Gold Coast File:Chevron Renaissance Shopping Mall & Apartment Complex in GC HWY.jpg.
