Graeme Kemlo has been on the Gold Coast – Australia’s sixth largest and fastest growing city. It is expecting to reach one million residents from the current 680,000 over the next 15 to 20 years. Part of the growth in this city, which stretches 57km along the coast from the outer suburbs of Brisbane to the New South Wales border, is from southerners fleeing the cold weather, and families seeking opportunities for work and lifestyle. Graeme Speaks with Avril Harris of Experience Gold Coast about This Is Gold Coast – the event he attended.

Our Queensland-based colleague Fiona Harper undertook a massive house move – no not using furniture removalists, she hired a full blown semi-trailer and loaded a small wooden house , a typical Queenslander and had it carted late at night, with Police lights flashing, roads blocked, power lines lifted. She moved more than 100 km tio the Bundaberg area and now her next task is to make it liveable. Fiona spoke to Graeme Kemlo about the exercise, which has taken about three years to plan and execute.

Reporter Carolyne Jasinski speaks with passionate microbiologist and Reef Sleep manager Greg Hoare, who says the reef in this area is in pretty good shape. Carolyne enjoyed a memorable experience sleeping on a pontoon in the middle of the ocean, directly on the Great Barrier Reef. It was another form of her favourite accommodation – glamping. Reef Sleep is about two hours by boat from Hamilton Island in Queensland’s southern Great Barrier Reef.

Tune in to listen to Carolyne in discussion with Greg Hoare.
