Australia's glittering Gold Coast is a region of contrasts—from sun-drenched beaches and ocean boulevards to the lush subtropical mountains and valleys of the Hinterland. A sweeping coastline offers a spectacular stretch of surf beaches that are among the best in the world. July is winter in Australia, but because Queensland is subtropical, the temperature is normally between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius (72 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit).

Conrad Jupiters, our convention hotel and a landmark on Australia's Gold Coast, offers luxurious guest rooms designed to take in either beach or Hinterland views. Amenities include a spectacular swimming pool and hot tub, steam room, spa and massage services, beauty salon, five on-site restaurants, live entertainment, and more!

It's hard to be a spectator on Australia's Gold Coast. Enjoy tours to Gold Coast beaches, World Heritage-listed national parks in the subtropical rainforest, plus wineries and arts and crafts galleries of the area. Encounters with fun-loving Australians and stunning wildlife will leave you spellbound. And new at Convention 2006, we are offering a comprehensive spouse program that will entertain your partner with golf and fishing expeditions and more!

You'll dine in style during your stay! Fresh seafood and contemporary Australian cuisine are the Gold Coast's specialties. With more than 500 restaurants, the Gold Coast also offers exotic tastes from around the globe. For those who love to shop, you will find designer boutiques, resort and themed shopping villages, elegant arcades, and beachside art markets. And when the sun goes down, whether you choose a canal cruise, stage show, nightclub, or Conrad Jupiter's own 24-hour casino, the Gold Coast nightlife shouldn't be missed.
