There's nothing more iconic than a BBQ by the beach! After a jam packed morning exploring the Gold Coast, join us for a sausage sizzle at Kurrawa Surf Life Saving Club before saying your good-byes. All proceeds will go to the Nippers Club at Kurrawa. And if you still haven't had enough activity, there'll be some social beach volleyball games on at the club - feel free to join in or spectate!
Family and friends are welcome! We will have hotdogs and a drink for $5.50 (there will be options available for people with special dietary requirements!), and from 6pm we'll progress to the Surf Club itself for a few beers to close out the conference.

Spend your Saturday morning hanging out with your friends and bring your family along! Partners and kids are welcome. All events will take place between 10am and 1pm.
Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP) on the Gold Coast is very quickly becoming one of the most popular daytime pastimes for many reasons. It activates muscles throughout the whole body (but in a very low impact way) and is great for core fitness, all whilst virtually silently cruising the picturesque waterways of Australia’s favourite holiday destination. Being relatively easy to learn, SUP is an excellent activity for the whole family, some people even have their dogs on the boards with them! The fun, laughter and smiles make for a great day out on the water.
Getting there
Providing the green behind the gold, the Gold Coast Hinterland is full of unspoilt National Parks and charming mountain villages. Join us for a walk through the national park and get back to nature.
