Twin Towns

Coolangatta is Queensland's border to New South Wales. Coolangatta, Queensland and Tweed Heads, New South Wales, are 'Twin Towns'. Many locals (both from Queensland and New South Wales) cross the border to do business and go shopping. The coolest part is that New South Wales is currently an hour ahead of Queensland, as it observes daylight saving time. It is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the New Years day countdown twice, as Tweed Heads celebrates it an hour ahead of Coolangatta, Gold Coast. It is wonderful to stand at the border of the two states, especially at this time of the year.
