THE Parklife music festival is headed to the Gold Coast and is expecting to draw a crowd of more than 35,000. Book and stay in accommodation close to Parklands only a short drive away.
After years in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens Parklife promoters said they simply outgrew the venue and needed somewhere with much bigger capacity.
”Queensland Parklife has been the first event to sell out for the past four years, so we needed to provide our fans here with a better venue and bigger capacity where they can see all their favourite acts – by the beach in Australia’s premier holiday destination,” said Fuzzy general manager Adelle Robinson.
This year’s festival will feature Groove Armada, Missy Elliott, Soulwax, Holy Ghost!, The Dandy Warhols, Kele, Busy P and Memory Tapes plus many more.
Parklife will be held at Parklands on Saturday September 25. Tickets go on-sale July 1 at www.parklife.com.au

Horse racing is all about winning and Magic Millions Sales proudly claims it’s share of legends cementing Magic Millions reputation as the place to buy world quality thoroughbreds. Such success reflects the Company’s relentless quest for excellence in all of the Magic Millions thoroughbred auctions wherever they may be held.
In the second week of January every year the glamorous Gold Coast is the venue for the Magic Millions Yearling Sales and ten days of Carnival and society events surrounding the Magic Millions raceday. Two One Million dollar races are the highlight of the raceday, with only graduates of the Magic Millions Sales eligible to compete. The Magic Millions Sales and raceday has established its reputation on the international scene, and has fast become a “must be there” event worldwide and the only place worth staying at is Oscar On Main Beach Resort where the sea meets the sand in an idyllic setting at Main Beach.
“Magic Millions is my happy hunting ground. The sale is on at the right time and at the right location. I am able to combine my business with a family holiday at family accomodation on the Gold Coast and it is a fun place to be. I can find, and have done so, some incredible value at the Magic Millions. On top of all that, I estimate that I have something around 90 percent winners from the yearlings I have purchased there over the years, so it’s little wonder I keep coming back for more.” – Rob McAnulty, leading NZ bloodstock agent.

The Pan Pacific Masters Games is an international sporting event held on the Gold Coast at the beginning of November every two years and held again in 2010.
Around 10,000 participants from all over the world compete in the multi-sport competition, which runs for one week at various venues across the city. Last time , 34 sports were on the games program including team events such as softball, touch football, soccer, basketball and baseball and individual sports ranging from swimming and athletics, to tennis and archery.
The Master Games is a mature-age event, with no qualifying standards or times required to enter. The only criteria is that entrants meet the minimum age requirement for their respective sport, which is 30 years of age for most and one of the best locations to stay at is Main Beach. Ideal Beach front accommodation is Oscar On Main Beach Resort. Close to all bus routes, shops, restaurants, and a very short drive to all locations as it’s situated in the Hub of Main Beach.
Mainbeach makes a handy base for those keen on the social side of the games, with the opening ceremony, nightly entertainment and closing party, safe and quiet location.
The Pan Pacific Masters Games first began on the Gold Coast in 1996 and was called the Queensland Masters Games, it changed in 1998 to the Asia Pacific Masters Games which were held three more times on the Gold Coast. The event was renamed the Pan Pacific Masters Games in 2002 to reflect growing interest from Asia, Japan, the Americas, Oceania and New Zealand.
As well as the sporting events, the games have a week-long calendar of social events for competitors held within an official Games Village.
With the growing number of national teams on the Gold Coast, Queensland Events expect the profile of the Pan Pacific Masters Games to grow further in 2010.
