25.01.2022 PLANNING YOUR EURO SUMMER VAY-CAY: THE BUDGET // THE BUDGET Before you start splashing cash on expensive yacht tours and fancy hotels, it pays (or rather, saves) to know exactly how much cash you have to splash. Figure out the date you want to leave, and how much you will need to put away between now and then to cover all of the costs, plus spending money a spreadsheet will be your best friend here, but there are also online calculators that can help you.... Look up the flights for different dates and different cities and try to choose the most cost-effective option. This may even mean waiting for flight sales if you know when they’re going to be on. If you aren’t set on specific hotels, hostels or AirBnBs just yet, write down the general price range for each location and budget for the top of that range. The more you scrimp and save now, the more incidental spending money you’ll have to live it up in Europe. And speaking of your spending money, the general rule of thumb is to save 70 euros (that’s roughly 115 AUD) for each day of your trip but the more fat you build into your spending budget, the less stressed you’ll be about your finances on your vacay.

23.01.2022 Suburb Spotlight: Main Beach // SEE... ... Or should we say, sea? We couldn’t talk about Main Beach without first mentioning its most iconic attraction, Sea World. Beloved by generations of Gold Coasters and tourists for bringing us up close and personal with magical marine animals (and doing incredible rescue work at the same time) Sea World is more than a theme park. Why not spend the night at the on-site resort, or hop aboard a whale watching cruise to see the spectacular sea creatures in their natural habitat? Other unique ways to see the area include the Aquaduck Safari and Gold Coast Parasailing, both of which depart from Main Beach. For more on Main Beach, check out our 'Suburb Spotlight' on www.scoutmagazine.com.au.

22.01.2022 One more reason to hit the hinterland this weekend!

22.01.2022 Suburb Spotlight: Coolangatta // Experience While the atmosphere at Coolangatta is typically pretty laidback, there are a few key events big enough to wake the suburb from its restful slumber. Lovers of all things retro can’t miss Cooly Rocks On, the two-week 1950s and 60s nostalgia festival that fills the main street with restored cars, revival bands and pin up girls every June. And, for the surfing mad, hang around Snapper Rocks in March for the Gold Coast’s premier surfing festival, the Corona Open Gold Coast. You’re sure to catch a glimpse of local and international surfing stars, and probably see a few records smashed in the process. Discover more about Coolangatta in the 'Suburb Spotlight' tab on our website, www.scoutmagazine.com.au

21.01.2022 ISLAND HOPPING // North Stradbroke Island... Known to locals as Straddie, this is one place where time slows from a sprint to a leisurely stroll from the moment your car rolls off the barge. From the rocky headlands and sprawling beaches to the inland sand dunes and lakes, Straddie is best described as a little slice of paradise. Surf the breaks at the popular beaches (Main Beach if it’s a north-westerly wind, or Cylinder Beach and its neighbouring beaches if it’s a souther...ly), hurtle down the towering sand dune at Deadman’s Beach, fish off Adder Rock, or simply relax on any beach while the kids play. You’re sure to leave Straddie feeling relaxed and replenished, but beware of PSD (post-Straddie depression) an infliction most commonly experienced as your barge or water taxi glides away from the Dunwich jetty and you watch the island shrink back into the horizon. Looking for more islands to explore?

20.01.2022 ISLAND HOPPING // FRASER ISLAND Boasting over 123 kilometres of undisturbed rainforests and picturesque shorelines, it’s little wonder that Fraser Island was the destination of choice for a few notable royals not too long ago. The World Heritage-listed destination is the largest sand island in the world and the only place where tall rainforests grow on sand dunes. But the jewel in Fraser Island’s crown is no doubt Lake McKenzie, the perched lake with water so pure no fish or ...animals can live in it. Its particularly white sandy beaches which are composed of pure, white silica and clear aqua water make it a true tropical paradise, perfect for lazing about in a beach chair or snapping the dreamiest Insta photo. Take special care when you visit Fraser Island such a natural wonder is well worth protecting and the local community take incredible measures to ensure it stays as pristine as it can be.

The Gold Coast is home to a number of businesses offering SUP yoga classes a quick Google will reveal which ones are closest to you.
