Australia's Gold Coast, otherwise known as Surfers' Paradise for obvious reasons, is a mecca of sandy beaches and glittering casinos.
A favourite destination with native Aussies - always the litmus test for a good holiday spot - the Gold Coast has made its name in mixing glamorous nightlife with typically laidback Australian atmosphere.
Just last week ex-Neighbours starlet Kimberley Davies was spotted by Hello! magazine relaxing in the warm sunshine with husband Jason Harvey and the family.
The perils of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here seemed far behind her as she strolled, taking in the sights and sounds of Seaworld.
The region boasts enough theme parks to keep the kids happy for weeks, with giant shopping complexes and colourful country markets for the more mature visitor.
Follow in Kimberley's footsteps and whisk yourself off for the perfect way to kick off the new year.
