[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I baulked at the thought of jumping out of a plane at 12,000ft (3,600m). Skydiving is not on my bucket list; besides, I have a fear of heights. But there it was on the travel itinerary – skydiving. There was a hint of adventure which I could not resist, and I jumped at the chance.

It was the tail end of autumn when we flew into Gold Coast, a coastal city on the southeastern shores of Queensland, Australia. This was a four-day media trip to showcase Gold Coast’s myriad attractions, beyond its legendary Surfers Paradise and theme parks.
