Its easy to forget that Australia is an island. In its isolation, a paradise flourishes with tight-knit communities that are equal parts connected the hinterlands and the ocean that surrounds them. Sound familiar Californians that spent winters in the mountains and summers on the shore?
Piled into our vans and caravanning along the edges of the Gold Coast, every lookout point, secret swimming pool, and bay of waves felt both amazingly new, and at home — like we belonged there.
