Whether you want a pleasant scenic joy flight or an exciting heart stopping aerobatic flight viewing the Gold Coast UPSIDE down from 4000ft (if you dare), Tiger Moth Joy Rides will be your best holiday experience.
See the beauty of the Gold Coast and Hinterland in this rare aircraft. This is a true vintage aircraft which first flew in 1931, over 70 years ago!
Choose from different scenic flights or add an exciting optional aerobatic flight, performing barrel rolls, loop the loops, and other exciting manoeuvres (7 out of 10 passengers choose this most exciting experience!). We operate every day of the year (weather permitting!) except for Christmas Day, and fly within a 60-mile radius of Gold Coast City. The duration of the flights range from 20 minutes to 1 hour, and vary in cost.
In church grounds at Pimpama, halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, stands a stone memorial-a soldier statue, his head bowed, hands crossed and resting on his rifle, a tree trunk supporting him. It is, in fact, a replica of the original which was unveiled in 1919 following a public subscription. The original stood in the cemetery of Pimpama Uniting (previously Methodist) Church, a tribute to the seven local men who had died in WWI. It was produced by AL Petrie and Son of Toowong, the largest masonry firm in Queensland at the time; responsible for many WWI memorials. A series of relocations within the property have occurred, the most recent in 1993, when the replica was commissioned. This facsimile, positioned facing the Pacific Highway, was unveiled on ANZAC Day 1995. The old digger, which was in poor condition, was relocated to Miles Historical Village.
