 Coolangatta

Coolangatta is a small city with a decent number of hostels in southern point of the Gold Coast of Australia. One cool thing about the area is that a neighbouring town called Tweed Heads is separated from Coolangatta by a single street; Tweed Heads is in New South Wales and Coolangatta belongs to Queensland -- this means that in the street that separates Tweed Heads from Coolangatta you have neighbours that live with one hour difference (there is an hour's difference between New South Wales and Queensland). People always make funny jokes with those who live in Tweed Heads and work in Coolangatta.
