The heart of the Gold Coast is just over an hour's drive from Brisbane, depending on traffic Brisbane is about 80 kms north of the Surfers Paradise, which is the heart of the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is a "long" city which starts around 40 km south of Brisbane's CDB and extends to the NSW border at Coolangatta/Tweed Heads. The Theme Parks of Wet 'n' Wild, Movie World and Dreamworld are at the northern end, and it takes only around 40 minutes to reach these Coolangatta would be around 105 km from Brisbane's CBD.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
