Tugun, Queensland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tugun is a beachside suburb of the City of the Gold Coast, in the state of Queensland, Australia. Its name is believed to have derived from an Indigenous word of unknown dialect meaning "breaking waves".[1]
Tugun is situated at the junction of the Pacific and Gold Coast highways 7 km north-west of Coolangatta and 96 km south of Brisbane, the state capital. The junction is notoriously traffic-clogged, however this situation will likely change upon completion of the Tugun Bypass by late 2008. Tugun is a popular holiday destination, with a number of holiday units and motels lining Tugun Beach.
