Surfers Paradise, less than an hour’s drive south of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, is now at the heart of
Australia’s fastest-growing region in terms of both population and economic development. To some, Surfers
Paradise on the Gold Coast — a strip of coastline that extends southward from Brisbane for about 100 kilometres to
the New South Wales border — is the nightmare that will overwhelm much of Queensland’s coastal regions if
present population and tourist development trends continue. To others, Surfers Paradise is a dream about to come
true, the symbol of a glittering future that will see Queensland transformed from Australia’s poorest state into its
richest and most populated one.

vacationland. Each year visitors spend $1.5 billion while in Alaska. The development and advertising of national

groups on tour ships, buses, or airplanes; as motor home caravans; and as individuals enjoying a wilderness
experience. International tourism has also shown a dramatic increase in the 1990s.

Lake District extends about 50 km from north to south and about 40 km from east to west. It became
famous when a group of British poets (including William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and
Robert Southey) made it their home about the beginning of th e 19th century; they were described by
unsympathetic critics as the Lake School of poetry. In 1906, 304 hectares on Ullswater were set apart as
a national park. Lake District National Park now incorporates 2,240 sq km of the region. The area is a
popular tourist destination.
