Refreshing Golden Gaytimes and endless sun. Holidays at the Gold Coast in the 1960s and 70s, what a great place to be!
The idea of a holiday at the Gold Coast in the 60s and 70s appealed to so many Australian families, offering a variety of accommodation for variable budgets.
Whilst the coast was given its label the “Gold” Coast because of the real estate boom it also referred to this because of its glorious golden white beaches and fine sunny weather.
Enjoy the happy and sunny retro holiday snaps from the Aussie favourite holiday destination.
