THE GOLD COAST

The Gold Coast is a coastal city in southeastern Queensland on

the east coast of Australia. The city is 94 kilometres south of

the state capital Brisbane. It is the second most populous city

in the state, the sixth most populous city in the country, and

the most populous non-capital city in Australia.

The Gold Coast has the largest cross-state metropolitan area

population in Australia, due to the inclusion of Tweed Heads,

New South Wales in its metropolitan area. The Gold Coast's

metropolitan area converges with that of Greater Brisbane,

forming part of an urban conurbation of over 3 million people.

GLOW WORMS

What are Glow Worms?

Glow Worms are the larvae (immature stage) of a small fly. The larval stage is the

only stage in their life cycle that can glow. The adults are delicate flies that do

not have working mouthparts, and as such, only live for a small number of

days (females two days, males six days). As the adults are unable to feed,

Glow Worms must gain enough sustenance during the larval stage to get

them through the rest of their lifecycle. The larvae are believed to live for

approximately one year, although this is heavily dependent on environmental

conditions and availability of food.

Why do Glow Worms glow?

Glow Worms glow to attract small insects that emerge from the leaf litter and

water to where the Glow Worms reside. The Glow Worms construct "snares"

(like a spider's web) made from silk threads and sticky droplets to capture

and eat the insects attracted to their glow, which they then feed on.

2 For each activity you have enjoyed, say when and where you did it and what

you liked about it.Example: I went sightseeing last year when I was in Beijing. It was awe-inspiring because

everything was on such a grand scale, though admittedly it was also tiring because we covered a

lot of ground.

3 For each activity you have not done or do not like, say why. Example: I don 't

really enjoy sunbathing because I get burnt really easily. I tend to sit in the shade and read

instead.
