Day1.  It all begins at Gold Coast.  Today you get to spend your evening exploring the Surfer's Paradise. There is a lot you can do today. THE Gold Coast has more to offer than just sun, surf and sand. You can go on wine trails, hike rugged mountains, jet-boat and hug koalas all within 50km of one another.



Day2.  Today is all about getting close to nature, and what better way to do that than here at Paradise County. You get to spend a day in Aussie farm.  This farm experience is a fantasy for kids of all ages and that's the universal appeal of Paradise Country. You can watch as the stockmen and their dogs round up a flock of sheep. It's here you'll be shown how to throw a boomerang, milk a cow and see how to crack a stockmen's whip. Watch the skills of the master shearers in the Sheep Shearing Show and Ram Parade. Spend some time in the kangaroo and koala sanctuary where you can spot koalas as they snooze, feed the kangaroos and enjoy these charming marsupials in their natural setting.


Day3. After a quiet day with lot of excitement today you are set to get your adrenaline pumping at the Adrenaline Park. You will be greeted with screams as you approach and then the fun doesn’t end! Try the giant slingshot which flings riders 80 metres into the air, and the Vomatron that spins them around at high speed. There is also mini-golf, simulated helicopter and car-racing rides and bungy trampolines for the little ones.


Day4.
Today you will redefine your sense of freedom at Byron Bay which is a short drive (100km) from Gold Coast. Once you reach here, you are set to experience the Micro Lights which will amaze you. You will be airborne in a two-seater microlight and this is probably the nearest thing to what the essence of flying might be. It is magical and will leave you with a sense of freedom that you’ve never felt before.
Tonight you will stay at Byron Bay.


Day5.
Today you are off on the Byron Bay Lighthouse walking tour. Discover the historic lighthouse see the signal flags and the keepers’ desk and uniform, providing a reminder of days gone by when three families were living at Cape Byron from 1901 to 1989. Enjoy climbing the tower, stopping at each of the three levels before stepping out onto the top balcony to get a bird’s eye view into the marine park below and surrounding hinterland.
After which take a beautiful 3.7 km walk that includes coastal cliffs, littoral rainforest and world class beaches. The magnificent cliff top walking track winds its way through diverse plant communities, offering panoramic views of the ocean and north coast hinterland.

Day7.
Your morning begins with the “Beach to Bush Buggy ride” at Coffs Harbor. It is the new, fun way to explore Coffs Coast on four wheels. There is a range of exciting tours which take you off-road along the shores of Boambee Beach, deep into lush rainforest and bush-land, cruising along country roads, making stops along the way at lookouts and popular cafes, restaurants, gift shops and attractions.
Once this is over, you head to Port Macquarie. On your way you go to Timbertown, a heritage village. Set amongst 87 acres of natural forest, Timbertown is an entire village, re-created to demonstrate the struggles and achievements of their pioneers. It's an authentic heritage township, where the Horse and Carriage still runs, timber is still sawn and the bullock team still hauls its heavy load. You'll smell the distinctive aroma from the steam engines, the smell of sawn timber and the smell of home style cooked meals.
It is considered by many to be one of Australia's finest Heritage Parks. Overnight at Port Macquarie


Day8.
Today you drive to Port Stephen. It is a beautiful scenic drive that lasts for around five hours. Now here you can get in the mood of a little adventure. The Port Stephens Parasailing gives you the most awe-inspiring view of the marine wonderland below, this parasailing trip can take you either solo or tandem soaring up to 150m above the water. See Port Stephens from a rare and fascinating angle.   The sight from above of many of the bay’s approximately 160 dolphins is an exhilarating visual treat. And if this is not your cup of tea then we have the Sahara Horse Trail ride. Be it a ride on the beach or the forest they have it all.
