Have booked Chevron towers for the Gold Coast game.
Just wondering if anyone else is staying in Surfers and knows how to get to the ground.
Stayed at Broadbeach last time.
Thanks

There will be buses linking up with the GC Highway route, probably at Broadbeach. Check the Suns website, there is venue and transport info there.
Last year I got my daughter to drop us off, but there was only one place where it was allowed. We shared a cab home but had to queue for an hour or so. Wished we'd caught the bus.
Surfers Chevron was one of my childhood haunts in the 60s, great pools

Bertha and I had our Silver Jubilee there during Schoolies Week. Bloody disgrace. I think the Gold Coast is worse than Bali

It's a lot better now than it was back in 1963, Hiss!

Do you have a smart phone? Not being a smart arse but if you do use google maps ... It's pretty good.

It's shocking, literally no parking and cab queues are terrible. My advice, have someone drop you off and pick you up.

That or take a good book and thermos and join the hour long queue after the game.

I shall never return there.

Just grab a bus from Surfers to Metricon. Public transport up here is free if you have a ticket to the game.

Now tell him how to get home. That's the tricky part.

I just got back from the GC, you'll need to go through Asia to get to the ground.

Catch the G-Train to Broadbeach, then bus to Metricon [free to ticket holders]. Lets just hope we can manage a win this year
