It will be warm and getting hotter during the day but still cool at night in September. Summer is the wet season so you will be getting increasing rainfall towards December but the rain is usually warm. There is plenty to see in and around the Gold Coast. Call into any travel agent and collect a pile of brochures. Brisbane is only an hour away and northern NSW (the best part of Australia) is just across the border.

The others have said it all.
It should be beautiful weather at that time of the year, but then it's nearly always beautiful weather.
As the slogan says:
"Beautiful one day,
Perfect the next."
You should be able to obtain brochures and visit web sites.
The place is pretty much like the pictures show.
From October 18 - 21 feel the Gold Coast fire up for another four sizzling days and nights of high octane entertainment – Lexmark Indy 300 style.

You'll also be there for "schoolies week" in November. Officially, it's a week but goes longer than that. That's when many of the teenagers who have just completed their High School education travel from all over Australia for a wild holiday. It's a very busy time.

There are also Theme Parks and much more.

Blech! I hate the Gold Coast. it relatively is all sea coast is obtainable in and meets sky scrapers. No organic elegance or something like that. If it relatively is surf you pick, visit the easy Coast. that factor of three hundred and sixty 5 days nevertheless is relatively proper for surfing in maximum places in Australia. there are of direction various depraved spots throughout Australia - google Australian surf boards and that they are going to offer you the significant factors. do no longer go any larger than Bundaberg nevertheless. From Bundaberg upward it relatively is the super Barrier Reef, meaning no longer so exciting waves (fairly much ineffective in B'berg)
