SkyPoint Climb

Australia’s highest external building walk has now opened on the Gold Coast!

The Q1 building itself is the 25^th tallest building in the world at 322.5 metres high, and SkyPoint is Australia’s only beachside Observation Deck and a great place to relax after completing the climb. Friends and family can watch their loved ones on SkyPoint Climb through the glass roof panel.

Beach and Water Safety

Our Gold Coast beaches are world-class with kilometre’s of golden sand and fantastic swimming and surfing opportunities. But if your planning on spending some beach time on your next Gold Coast holiday it’s important to be aware of some water safety basics. (beach safety tips provided by the Gold Coast city council website)

NEVER:

Swim alone or surf at beaches not patrolled by Lifeguards or Lifesavers

Bathe outside the red and yellow flags that mark safe swimming areas

Bathe directly after a meal or under the influence of alcohol

Bathe when the beach is closed. (Observe the sign “Danger- Reserve closed to bathing” and the red flag)

Bathe when there are no safety flags

Panic if caught in a current or undertow, but raise one arm straight up and float until help arrives

Struggle if seized with a cramp, but raise one arm for help, float and keep the affected part of the body still

Go out far when a yellow flag is flying- it means the surf is dangerous

Bathe if unsure of safe conditions, but seek advice of the nearest Lifeguard

Struggle against a rip or current, but swim diagonally across it.

ALWAYS:

Swim between the red & yellow flag on patrolled beaches

Read the Flags and Safety Signs and understand what they mean before entering the water.

And, don’t forget to ‘Slip-Slop-Slap’ and drink plenty of water on those hot summer days!

Enjoy our beautiful beaches!

May your Christmas and the new year be filled with much joy, happiness and success. We look forward to welcoming you back to Oscar on Main again soon.

Happy holidays!
