Tips & Warnings

• Walk - Sounds fun, but no truly it is and cheap to do. When you book accommodation most of them are within walking distance to beaches and shops, so save the fuel & get fit by walking around instead of driving.
• Buy Alcohol in Bulk - for the adults, there a lots of specialty bulk liquor stores around (quite abit on the Gold Coast) that sells cheaper alcohol, but if you cant get to one take advantage of BWS where you can buy 5 wines and get the 6th one free
• Make sure your car in properly maintained, this is a no brainer but having your tyres properly inflated and oil, water & engine check before you go will save you time and money in the long run.
