History of Australia's Gold CoastEdit

In 1770, the British navigator Cook passed through this place and saw the danger of shallow water and reefs. He named the mountain here and the place where it protrudes from the water respectively Mount Warning and Cape Danger, Lighthouse. In the 1840s, Europeans began to establish immigration settlements here, clearing land for planting, and building houses. At that time, the area where indigenous people lived has become a tourist center with many hotels and villas. The Gold Coast is a subtropical area close to the tropics. Although there are four seasons in a year, the summer is particularly long, and the sunshine is warm in winter. When people in southern Australia are shivering in the cold wind of around 0℃, swimming on the Gold Coast feels like soaking in a hot spring. The Gold Coast beachfront has some places where the waves are rising and surging, making it an ideal place for surfing and water skiing. There is a bird sanctuary at Coolumbin Beach on the Gold Coast, covering an area of ??20 hectares. There are hundreds of red-billed, blue-necked and green-feathered parakeets, and their chirping is clear and sweet. There is the largest marine park in the country, which exhibits various rare fishes, among which the dolphin performances are very exciting and breathtaking. A replica of the sailing ship "Endeavour" sailed by British navigator Captain Cook is floating on the lake for tourists to admire. In the mountain gardens near the Gold Coast, there are many places for tourists to enjoy and play, including children's playgrounds for children to play; there are aerial cable cars that provide a bird's-eye view of scenic spots; and there are competitions for throwing boomerangs (a hunting tool used by Australian indigenous people). )'s vast lawns; parks displaying rare birds, animals, and flowers; helicopters for tourists to fly low over the sea and fields; and dazzling water ballet performances. When the sun goes down, the beach on the Gold Coast seems to be sprinkled with gold powder. In the afterglow of the setting sun, flocks of seagulls fly eagerly to grab the food abandoned by people. The sea water is still washing the beach in waves, and in the distance of the vast Pacific Ocean, the dusk mist connects the sea and sky into a gray patch. Late at night, after the hustle and bustle, the beach on the coast seemed particularly quiet. Only the moonlight penetrated through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the sea water that was still warm, still swaying gently, and foaming on the beach one after another. . Under the sun, golden light shines everywhere on the Gold Coast. After nightfall, only the sea breeze stirs the gentle waves and sways the shadows of the trees, which is full of poetry and painting.
