There's a rumour that we're not a very "artsy" place. Good thing it's just a rumour. Galleries, theatre groups, nostalgia museums, sculpture festivals and indigenous performances just brush the surface of a cultural canvas that goes far deeper. As they say - art is purely a matter of perspective after all. Looking for more inspiration? Check out the cultural highlights of the Gold Coast hinterland.

The Killer Queen Experience - Currumbin
Formed in 2003, The Killer Queen Experience has risen from a local Brisbane-based Queen cover band to an international touring show and is Australia’s most sought-after tribute act today. Meeting Queen in 2020 is the highlight of their career! Killer Queen has taken their show across the globe, including the UK, Norway, Singapore and India. In May 2019, Killer Queen performed in Russia for the first time. They have also shared the bill with the likes of Jeff Beck, Foreigner, Journey, Twisted Sister, Thin Lizzy and Kelly Rowland. John Blunt’s (lead singer) resemblance to Freddie Mercury is uncanny, appearing live to seven million viewers on the French TV show “Qui Sera Le Meilleur Sosie? - Who will be the best impersonator” and John was chosen by UK’s ITV Channel 5 for the docu/drama “The Freddie Mercury Story – Who Wants to Live Forever”, a detailed look into the personal life and death of Freddie Mercury, screening in the UK, Europe and North America in 2016. This two-hour live show consists of all Queen's Greatest Hits (and stage costumes), including Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Somebody to Love, Radio Ga Ga, Another One Bites the Dust and many more. This will be an unforgettable Killer Queen Experience!

2025 Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge
Tackle the Kokoda Challenge on Saturday July 19, and test your physical and mental resilience by walking through the Gold Coast Hinterland over a distance of 30km, 48km, or 96km. The Kokoda Challenge is Australia’s toughest team endurance event and is not for the faint-hearted. With over 4,000 meters of elevation and 39 hours of trekking through the day and night, regardless of weather conditions, you will experience a test of strength and determination. The course includes sharp inclines, gruelling descents, mud, and creeks, and pays tribute to the sacrifices of the Diggers who fought in the 1942 Kokoda Campaign. This is more than a personal challenge – it’s an opportunity to give back to your community. The funds raised support Kokoda Youth Foundation programs to help kids in the local community. The Kokoda Youth Programs are empowering local kids facing disadvantages and disengagement to realise their full potential by instilling the values of the Kokoda Spirit; Courage, Endurance, Mateship, Sacrifice. Past participants have called this event “physically and emotionally exhausting, and yet the most extraordinary and rewarding thing we’ve completed.” Every step is a testament to your inner strength, prove to yourself what you’re truly made of and join in on this epic adventure!
