We Go Up SkyPoint Observation Deck




The second day of our stay in Australia, we went up to SkyPoint observation deck.

The deck towers 230 meters above the Surfers Paradise beach.

We were able to command a stunning 360 degree panoramic view of Gold Coast on a perfect clear blue sky day.

The hotel which we stayed was less than 100 meters away from the SkyPoint building.

Gold Coast Surfers Paradise



We stayed at a hotel located in the north end of Surfers Paradise beach. I was able to walk to the beach side in a couple minutes walking.

Beautiful Pacific Ocean was always there without our expectations during our one week stay.

Safe area for swimming was shown using flags and indication board by life guards run by Gold Coast City Council.


The followings are the guideline of the beach.
  • Always swim between the red and yellow flags. If the flags aren't up, it may not safe to swim, so always ask a lifeguard if it's safe to swim if you cannot see the flags
  • Check for additional beach signage, as this may change every day
  • Read the safety warnings
  • Check with a lifeguard about beach and water conditions if you're not sure it's safe
  • Put your hand up and stay calm if you get in trouble in the water

I Go to Gold Coast in Australia




My wife and I had gone to Australia and come back Japan yesterday.

It took eight hours from Narita International Airport in Japan to Gold Coast by Jetstar Airways.







Seeing several movies and having light meals in the plane, the plane brought us from early winter season to top summer season.
