Visiting Sydney / Gold Coast, need advice!
 

Hey guys.

So ill be going on holidays with my GF to Sydney and Gold Coast on the 13th Nov - 21st Nov(Just in time for IEM SG!). Anyways i`ll touch down in Sydney then take a connecting flight to Gold Coast for the first 4 days.

13 - 17th Gold Coast
Vibe Hotel Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia

17th - 21st Sydney
Aspire Hotel 383-389 Bulwara Road Nsw, Ultimo, NW, 2007 Australia

Anyone knows about these places? Is the location convenient/safe etc etc?

Anyways, was just wondering if you guys have recommendations on places that are must sees in Gold coast/Sydney! Already found out from benji that i can take a train from Ultimo - Blue mountain in under 2 hours/10 bucks so definitely gonna fit that in my schedule. My hotel is near the Harbour and Haymarket in Sydney so definitely those!

GC however, ive already been to the 3 theme parks but my GF hasnt. Is there anyone outta the 3 that is highly recommended and what are the ticket prices like? Its been almost 15 years since i last went! Any advice/tips would be appreciated!

PS: How are the diners/resturants/eateries charges like? Dont wanna walk in somewhere and get rip off thinking it was a good/affordable meal!

EDIT: Is there any competitions or barcrafts during that period of time?
