Hottest Nightclub in Australia!
The Gold Coast is always popping no matter what day of the week it is. I’ve never experienced such a crazy and busy nightlife before. It’s never boring!
Below you will see hot spots for everyday of the week:
Surfers Paradise is where the majority of the clubs/pubs/bars are. There’s one to fit everyones needs. If you never know where to go, just go to Surfers Paradise and walk around and you’ll find at least one place that is jamming that night.
Sunday: Waxy’s Irish Pub in Surfers Paradise. Every Sunday there’s $2.50 steaks and $2.00 beers. You can’t beat those prices! It’s an Irish Pub, so you know you’ll have a good time no matter what. Also, on Sunday’s they have live bands that play there a lot. When it gets crowded, they open up the second level of the pub, so the party never stops no matter how busy it gets.
Monday: SinCity in Surfers Paradise. Every Monday night is Industry night. SinCity is my favorite night club by far. The music is really good. They play alot of mixed stuff, which I love. Drinks are also pretty cheap. They always have specials too. The dancing is alot like what you’ll find in the states.
Tuesday: Shooters Night Club in Surfers Paradise. Tuesday is Uni Night. All of the Uni students go here and get drink specials. Also, anytime you have no idea where to go, go to Shooters. It’s free entry all the time for Griffith Uni students as long as you show your id. The drinks might be a little more, but since you get in free, it evens itself out. The dancing and music are great too.
Wednesday: Escape Night Club in Surfers Paradise. There’s a $15.00 Cover Charge which includes your 1/2 shot basic spirits until midnight.
Saturday: Anywhere you go is great! All of the night clubs are busy. Saturday nights are of course the busiest! The Gold Coast is the place to be. You’ll always find the nightlife fun!

Australian English. Not quite American English.
A Crosswalk in Australia
-Submitted by Meg Bauer, Abroad101′s Global Ambassador at Griffith University in the Gold Coast, Australia
Australian English is almost the same as American English. It took me awhile to get used to however. They talk really fast here. Australians always tell me that Americans talk so slow. I used to always feel bad for saying “what?” every time an Australian spoke to me, but I’m getting better now! Continue reading
Australia Excursion! Crown Street in Surry Hills
Menu at Robocog!
-Submitted by Mia Marino, Abroad101’s Global Ambassador in Australia
Crown Street, in Surry Hills, resides quite close to where I intern and not only is it a great place to grab a trendy meal but also where you can give new life to great vintage clothing. Lined with restaurants, upscale grocers and heaps of vintage stores it is easy to get lost on Crown Street for an afternoon. Setting out from Elizabeth Street I walked up Campbell until reaching Robocog, a super quaint neighborhood restaurant just off Crown. Continue reading

The same class three times in one day!? Are you kidding? Academics at Griffith Uni
Griffith Uni
I’ve had three weeks of classes, so I’m finally getting used to it here now. You call university “uni.” You’d say “I have uni today.”
Classes are very different here! Some classes, I even have more than once a day. It’s very confusing. I’ll go into my daily schedule in more detail later. The grading scale is different too. You start off with 0% and have to earn your way up. In the US, you start off with 100% and get marked down for our mistakes. I like starting off with 100% better. Continue reading
