Cabbage Tree Point: Gold Coast Airport -> 360 deg
Few places in Queensland have a history as closely tied to aviation as Gold Coast Airport. It stands in Bilinga on the southern edge of the Gold Coast, beside the Pacific Ocean and close to the New South Wales border. Established in 1939 as Coolangatta Airport, it adopted its present name in 1988 as the Gold Coast developed into a major tourism centre. Its runway and terminal serve the Gold Coast and the adjoining Tweed region, while the broad coastal plain gives the site an unusually open setting for an urban airport. The airport is part of the southern city’s transport network, linking coastal suburbs with domestic and international air services.

Few coastal communities in Queensland have a history as closely tied to the tidal waters of Moreton Bay as Cabbage Tree Point. At the northern edge of the Gold Coast, the settlement stands on the mainland shore of southern Moreton Bay, near the mouth of the Logan River. Mangrove-lined shallows, channels and mudflats shape a coast where boating, fishing and crabbing remain familiar pursuits. Its name recalls the cabbage tree palms associated with this low-lying part of Queensland’s coast. The nearby Southern Moreton Bay Islands emphasise the close relationship between land and water here, while the open bay extends towards North Stradbroke Island.

Queensland extends from Torres Strait in the north to the New South Wales border in the south, encompassing a tropical coastline and a vast, dry interior. Along the Coral Sea, the Great Barrier Reef runs beside the state’s eastern shore, while inland plains, grazing country and long distances define much of central and western Queensland. This location lies in the interior, where settlements are widely spaced and open outback horizons contrast with the humid coast. Queensland is home to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose enduring connections to Country underpin its cultural identity.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
