What makes the Gold Coast unique?
Glitz, glamour, surf, sand and bush: the Gold Coast has it all. Most notorious for its long, sandy coast, its sea of high-rise apartments and its world-class theme parks, the Gold Coast has so much more to offer. Even though it’s Australia’s most aggressively developed patch of land, it retains huge, densely forested areas, large dairy farms and prestigious wineries. Don’t be fooled by its reputation – the Gold Coast has something for everyone.
Surfers Paradise
The name says it all. The northern end of the Gold Coast is all beach and high-rise buildings. Think sand, surfing, seedy nightlife, shopping, multi-million dollar units and nouveau-riche style. Glitzy and gauche, Surfers Paradise lives up to its name. But move a little further south, and the beachy neighbourhoods are inhabited by young working families, commuters to Brisbane and retirees.
From glass and steel skyscrapers to generations-old seaside weekenders to simple yet modern family homes, the architecture on the Gold Coast reflects its varied lifestyles. The window furnishings range appropriately from Slimline Aluminium Venetian Blinds to Shutters, Cellular Blinds, Outdoor Bistro Blinds and more.
The green behind the gold
The Gold Coast includes subtropical forests, national parks, mountains, creeks and waterfalls. There is much to the coast that is purely natural. This “hinterland”region – the part of the Gold Coast which is not coast – is also host to dairy farms, wineries, bamboo plantations, fruit orchards and other natural industries.
Cosy mountainside B&B’s, farmhouses and rural “Queenslander” style homes are as much a part of the Gold Coast’s architecture as its iconic skyscrapers. These structures have specific window furnishing needs, often featuring Roman Blinds, Sunshade Roller Blinds and Outdoor Bistro Blinds for both fashion and function.
Wet and dry seasons
The sub-tropical climate of the Gold Coast features wet and dry seasons more than hot and cold. Summers are warm and humid, winters are cooler and dry. It is prone to wild weather conditions like cyclones that can wipe all the sand away from entire beaches.
Gold Coasters love to watch the weather and to adjust their windows and blinds to take maximum advantage of the conditions. Complete Sunblock Roller Blinds are popular for keeping homes cool on hot days; Outdoor Bistro Blinds are common for creating outdoor rooms; and any blinds that filter in light and breezes, like Aluminium Venetian Blinds, Cedar and Timber Blinds, Ecowood Venetian Blinds and Bamboo Blinds are widely used.
