Gold Coast

Situated in Coolangatta — a stone's throw from Surfers Paradise at 22 kilometres — Gold Coast Airport (previously Coolangatta Airport) comes equipped with an accessible transport and information desk near international arrivals. Key bus services include Route 777, offering a limited-stop journey to Broadbeach South tram station. From there, easy transfers to the G:link service for Surfers Paradise, Southport, and other bus routes are available. This service runs every 15 minutes, seven days a week from 7am to 7pm. Route 760 provides a link to Varsity Lakes Train Station at thirty-minute intervals. Additional bus services from Surfside reach Kingscliff and Pottsville, starting from Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah. The Hub Convenience store sells Go cards. As a tourist, you might want to get the 'Gold Coast go explore' pass, which grants unlimited daily bus and tram rides for just $10. Buy it right at the airport. And lastly — if you prefer a direct ride, taxis await just outside the terminal.

There are numerous post offices located on the Gold Coast. You can find one of them in the Centro shopping centre.
