Gold Coast



Gold Coast, a premier tourist destination, is situated in the southeast section of Queensland, Australia. It is the state's second most populous city and the country's sixth most populous city. Its metropolitan area combined with Greater Brisbane has more than three million people.

 The city is a modern city with high-rise buildings, and shoppers adore the designer boutiques in the world-renowned Surfers Paradise.



The name "Gold Coast" was given to the city by ambitious real estate investors, and the area earns that title with its outstanding varied scenery, subtropical climate, 70 kilometers of fantastic golden beaches, theme parks including Dreamworld's virtual reality rides, watching movies being produced at Warner Bros. Movie World, touring lush rain forests, watching some of the 35 species of butterflies and 160 species of birds, waterfalls, World Heritage national parks, Aboriginal culture and much more.



Water sports such as surfing the huge waves, snorkeling through a Scottish Prince shipwreck at Main Beach and viewing the colorful sub-tropical fish, swimming in protected waters, whale watching, swimming with dolphins, sea kayaking, windsurfing and fishing are popular.

April's Coolangatta Ocean Swim attracts racers and spectators to this Australian challenging course and beach carnival. There are other events and festivals in almost every month.

Gold Coast will be the host for the XXI Commonwealth Games from April 4, 2018 through April 15, 2018. The international multi-sporting event can be easily accommodated because 80 percent of the planned venues are already in place and are within a 20 minute drive of the Athletes Village located in Parkwood.




A nearby attraction is one of the world's seven natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef. This is the world's largest coral reef with more than 3,000 reef systems, spectacular marine life, and tropical islands numbering in the hundreds. It has the distinction of being the one living thing on the earth that can be seen by astronauts from outer space.

This has been a guest post supplied by the cheerful travel writer residing over at Skedaddle Car Hire, they can assist your visit with a Gold Coast car hire, which will make your trip much more worthwhile.

Indian Ghost Town of Bhangarh Rajasthan – Alwar

04:46 AK 49 Comments


Welcome to Bhangarh, India’s most haunted town.
Many locals and visitors claim that they have witnessed paranormal activities – like sounds of music and dancing and wierd color spots in photographs of chambers.

A mere 270 kilometres from New Delhi, this town lies in the Alwar district of Rajasthan.
 Bhangarh must have been an extremely prosperous city. Today nothing remains but the temples. 
This Devil place is located between Jaipur and Alwar. It is an archaeologist’s delight. Bhangarh is the small village with rich historical ruins and is a popular because of its vampirism.

The Government of India has strictly banned all tourists or any trespassers to enter Bhangarh from sunset till sunrise.



 Legend says, Princess of Bhangarh, Ratnawati was bestowed with great charm and beauty by God. She started getting marital offers from a very early age. 
There lived a evil magician (tantric) Singhia in the village who fell in love with the princess and was well aware that he does have a chance of marrying her. 
With a determined to marry princess, he prepared special scented oil with his black magic. The oil will hypnotize the princess and she would marry him. 
Princess maid foiled his plan. 
She warned the princess to avoid using the enchanted oil he gave to her.  Princess threw the oil away which landed on a rock. The magic potion in oil started working and rock started rolling towards the tantric crushing him to death.


Dying magician cursed the town of Bhangrah, everyone living in the palace and their future generations that nobody will be left alive here and the soul of the dead will never attain salvation.
 The curse proved right, following year there was a battle with Bhangarh and Ajabgarh resulting in the death of everyone in the village including princess .

Many a curious visitor has complained of being overwhelmed by a queasy, uneasy feeling as soon as they enter the town, but maybe it is the mind playing games. 
As the town is built on a hill, we stand at one point gazing at the various arches and colonnades built on various levels on the hills, and they all speak a silent, wailing tale of a past soaked in splendor.

Not as if nobody did not try to enter at night.  At dusk, the guards manning the town lock the gates and then lock up themselves, in a small room in the fort, and do not come out till morning

El Caminito del Rey

 It got its name because the path was officially opened by Alfonso XIII of Spain.

The trail, also known as the King's Pathway, was originally built in 1905 for workers to travel between two hydroelectric power plants but was closed-off in 2000 after two walkers fell to their deaths.



was built in 1901 as a connection between the power plants of Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls.
