19.05.2025

Are you looking for a weekend away that is not too far from campus?

Check out these spots perfect for a getaway after a big week of learning!

Sunshine Coast

Just an hour and a half north of Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast is the perfect weekend getaway.

Whether you’re into surfing, hiking, or just relaxing on the beach, this coastal gem has it all.

Explore the trendy town of Noosa, take a scenic walk through the Glass House Mountains, or chill out at Mooloolaba Beach with fish and chips.

It’s a great way to practice your English while soaking up the Aussie lifestyle. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

Byron Bay

If you are looking to travel down south and you are craving surf, sunshine, and a bit of alternative charm, Byron Bay is the spot you are looking for!

Just under two hours from the Gold Coast, this iconic beach town is a favourite weekend trip for Langports students.

Byron is all about good vibes, live music, and unforgettable sunsets.

Start your day with a sunrise walk to the Cape Byron Lighthouse—the easternmost point of Australia—then spend the afternoon surfing, shopping at local markets, or spotting dolphins from the beach.

Mount Tamborine

If you are looking for a getaway that’s less beachy, look no further than Mount Tamborine!

Only an hour drive from the Gold Coast, you will find a mountain village that is full of surprises!

Rainforest walks, waterfalls, local markets, picnic spots, and even glow worm caves!

Australia has so much to offer so give these spots a try!
