  • Gold Coast in Queensland
    Gold Coast in Queensland Gold Coast — one of the fastest growing Australian cities. Gold Coast is a coastal town in Queensland, in eastern Australia, famous for its line of beautiful beaches. With easy connectivity to Brisbane, Gold Coast is one of the most popular tourist spots in all of Australia. No wonder then, the city has the highest population among non-capital cities of Australia, and its humble airport is the sixth busiest airport in Australia. Southern Gold Coast offers a laid back atmosphere in comparison to the frenzied fun of Surfer's Paradise. Gold Coast Attractions The attractions at Gold Coast are numerous; they include beaches, hinterlands, and posh precincts. Beaches:The Gold Coast is lined with numerous beaches- thirty five in all. Main Beach: This is actually the main surf beach of the town. Pavilion 34, which used to be a bathing pavilion, now serves as a casual cafe serving some appetizing chillo rolls and potato scallops. Surfer's Paradise: Surfer's Paradise alone makes Gold Coast worth a visit. Thanks to its shopping centers, arcades, a beachfront promenade lined with more than a hundred stalls, and above all, some of the best sea-breaks in the world. A long stretch of golden sand is good for a walk or simply to soak up some sun. Surfer's Paradise has a pulsating nightlife too. An array of nightclubs, restaurants and pubs- all clustered within walkable distance of one another remain open till the wee hours of the morning. Broadbeach: Broadbeach has really come into its own. Broadbeach offers an experience that is distinctly different from what Surfer's Paradise has to offer.

In the years since then this magnifi cent ceremonial courtroom has seen many lectures and presentations from distinguished judges and academics. The tradition continues in 2018 when, for the fi rst time, the Supreme Court Library Queensland has compiled this event guide to 13 free legal lectures presented in the Banco Court. The Selden Society lectures hosted by the library are presented in the guide, as is the Supreme Court Oration—which this year will be delivered by the Honourable Geoffrey Ma GBM, Chief Justice of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal. The guide also features lectures from the jointly managed Current Legal Issues seminar series, the Australian Academy of Law Queensland lecture, the Australian Institute of Judicial Administration’s annual oration, and the fi rst event of the Justice in Focus series. Across these various lecture series the topics are wide-ranging and engaging, with the speakers being drawn from many different courts and universities. The Supreme Court of Queensland is pleased to welcome these distinguished speakers to the Banco Court.
