"Featured Event
2009 World Summer Transplant Games
The Gold Coast will play host to the World Transplant Summer Games from August 22-30, 2009 when up to 3,000 participants from more than 70 countries descend on the family-friendly tourist location. In order to help you start planning we have approximated costs for the Games to be about $800 for registration, transportation, including room & board, plus airfare (about $1300). To register for the World Transplant Games, visit www.worldtransplantgames09.com.
Renowned for its subtropical climate, with temperatures during your stay averaging from 9 to 21 degrees Celsius (48 to 69 degrees Fahrenheit), the Gold Coast has attractions suitable for all ages, including theme parks with some of the world's tallest and fastest thrill rides.
Visitors enjoy meeting native animals at wildlife sanctuaries, cruising expansive waterway and canal systems, catching a stage show or taking a hike through superb national parks. If you are a keen shopper there are many excellent bargains to be found as well as hundreds of restaurants, cafes and bars with a mix of local and international food, fun and music.
The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre will be used as the Games hub and events will take place at many of the sporting facilities on the Coast including Runaway Bay Sports Super Centre. Athletes will be housed in laid-back family-style apartments, within walking distance of the Gold Coast Convention Centre - helping to build a village-like atmosphere. Breakfast and dinners will be at the centre, providing an opportunity for everyone to meet new people. There are also planning plenty of social functions at the start so participants will get into that 'family' or 'team' mode straight away. A pre-games bush dance is planned the night before the opening ceremony and an open air concert after the opening ceremony."
