🔌 Plugs
Yes. You'll need an Australian (type I) adapter. The voltage (230V) is close to the UK's 230V, so UK appliances work with just a plug adapter.
🕒 Time
Gold Coast is 10 hours ahead of the UK in the UK winter and 9 hours ahead of the UK in the UK summer (the clocks change on different dates).
💶 Money
Gold Coast uses the Australian dollar (AUD). Not expected, as staff earn a good minimum wage. Up to 10% for great service is a nice extra.
