🚆 From Brisbane to Gold Coast – Sun, Surf, and Skyline

Catching the train from Brisbane Central to Helensvale, then hopping on the tram to Surfers Paradise, is the perfect mini getaway. The journey rolls past suburbs and lush green stretches, easing me gently out of city life. Within 90 minutes, I’m strolling past beach markets and tall palm trees, sun on my face. It’s my favourite way to chase the coastline — no driving stress, no parking dramas, just Queensland’s beauty from a window seat. The TransLink service is reliable and super affordable, making weekend beach escapes a regular ritual.
