AFL - Kangaroos v St Kilda
Carrara
North Melbourne V St Kilda
AFL Toyota Premiership action hits the Gold Coast on June 28th with North Melbourne up against St Kilda.
Gold Coast Stadium, Carrara is the venue for this exciting match up for two of the League’s powerhouse teams which are both expected to be challenging for this year’s Premiership.
AFL on the Gold Coast not only guarantees top flight action on the field but plenty of fun off it. Visit friends at the Carlton Mid Boundary Riders marquee or check out the Kids Zone, the AFL interactive area for children of all ages that love footy.
St Kilda and North Melbourne boast some of the biggest stars in the game such as Lenny Hayes and Shannon Grant as well as Gold Coast bred Nick Riewoldt and David Hale.
How to get here: there is no easier way of getting to the venue than on the FREE shuttle buses that run in and around the Gold Coast two hours prior to the first bounce of every AFL game at Carrara.
We’ve extended the service this year so that shuttles will leave from Surfers Paradise, Nerang Railway Station, Pacific Fair, Robina Town and Labrador Shops. It’s the hassle-free way to get to the footy. And it’s FREE.
All patrons have to do to travel free is show their AFL match ticket to the driver. All services will pick up patrons at all TransLink stops on route to Carrara.
Also people from the Southern end of the Gold Coast will be able to travel free from Palm Beach and Tweed Heads via Surfside buses 706 and 765 to Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre respectively, connecting the shuttle to Carrara.
Buses will leave Carrara 15 minutes after the game, returning to Surfers Paradise, Pacific Fair, Robina Town Centre, Labrador Shops via Harbour Town & Nerang Railway Station. The last buses will leave Carrara one hour after the game.
All return services will set down at all TransLink stops.

Located close to Merrimac in central Gold Coast, theres a choice of two golf courses. Dont be surprised to look skyward and see balloon rides floating over the green plains. It makes sense the Aboriginal name "Karara" means long flat still descriptive of the areas topography.
Theres nearby golf courses west at Lakelands and Palm Meadows.
Take the children to Merrimacs Faerie Park, with a fairy garden, toadstool magic circle, troll bridge and goblins cave. Magic is always in the air. www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/parks
