Nerang - Places to See

Nerang (including the Natural Bridge and Lamington National Parks) Gateway to the beautiful hinterland behind the Gold Coast. Located 72 km south of Brisbane, Nerang is a perfect example of what has happened on the Gold Coast as a result of population overspill from both Brisbane and the coastal settlements. Once a quiet little town it now looks like a large slab of suburbia with wide roads, recent project home developments, modern shopping complexes and the usual features of a large centre of population and commerce.
