I have an idea, it's a bit out there but I think people will like it.
Not to long ago, I had the pleasure of having lunch at Ruffles Lodge (
Ruffles Lodge & Spa Restaurant - Dining - Dining Gazebo Wineries Gold Coast Hinterland) , it's in the Gold Coast hinterland. It's a lovely destination and has spectacular views looking back onto the Gold Coast.
I love the idea of showing off the beach side of the Gold Coast, but I think it'd also be a missed oopportunity if we didn't show off this other side of the Gold Coast.
We could easily book the place out for AFF, hopefully they could do a good price for us, but I'm not sure of the logistics of getting everybody from Surfers/Broadbeach to the Hinterland. (Those that really want to can enjoy a private helicopter ride...)
Anyway, just something to think about.
(Also, if you could put me down as Gold thanks Sam. )
