That is a looker.
Funny name though Gold Coast. Here in Zurich gold coast has a specific meaning. The northernside/coast of lake Zurich is refered to as the 'golden coast' as we receive much more sunshine than the 'schnuffel coast'(sniffel coast)the southern side is in the shadow of hills. The rents and and buyers premium are much more on the northern side generally.
Does anyone know what coast the commonwealth games are held this year.
Does anyone care/ follow about those games, unless you know someone competing?
