I have visited Surf World several times over the years. I am an avid surfer who loves the history of this sport. There are always new items on display not that it matters as I really enjoy looking at some of the same items again and again.

Set in the fabulous Gold Coast Hinterland on 12-acres surrounded by native trees and lush grass land the Gold Coast Motor Museum is the latest tourist attraction to open in South East Queensland. The Museum and Restaurant are perfectly positioned on a crest which offers a picturesque view across the lawn and down the Coomera valley, only 10 minutes inland from Movieworld (exit 60). This is a must visit attraction for any car lover, with a great selection of cars and motor bikes ranging from 1911 through the ages until 1988. There are horse drawn buggies, push bikes and peddle cars. Even if you are not attracted to motoring history you will also see many other forms of history including telephones, tins, tools, and even period fashion for the ladies on our wonderful Mannequins. There is plenty to see here and displays will change from time to time so a return trip will be sure to please. Museum Entry Fee Adults $20 Seniors $15 Kids under 15 are free
