Gold Coast experiences autumn during March and May which is also accompanied by bright, cheerful weather conditions. Winters would require some warm clothing as temperatures can get slightly uncomfortable for those not used to colder climes. Carrying clothing suitable to the weather conditions would be necessary. A robust pair of hiking boots, if you a planning a visit to the national parks would be advisable.
