Gold Coast Rail Line (Beenleigh → Varsity Lakes)

The Gold Coast heavy rail keeps going north into Brisbane, but for now we're sticking to the Coast stretch: Beenleigh through Ormeau, Pimpama, Coomera and Hope Island, then Helensvale on to Nerang, Merrimac, Robina and Varsity Lakes. Solid suburbia with proper pubs along the way - most are walkable, a few further ones want a bike, scooter or skateboard.
