Trade the Beach for the Rainforest

Everyone who flies into Gold Coast Airport heads for the beach. Fair enough, it's what the Gold Coast's known for. But the hinterland is the trip nobody plans until they're already here, and it's the one you can only really do properly with a hire car. There's no direct bus route stitching together a waterfall, a winery and a rainforest walk in one day. A car is what turns "the Gold Coast" from a strip of coastline into an entire region, and this particular region has a wild backstory.
