Helensvale is a quiet, middle class suburb on the
Gold Coast, Australia and also the centre of Gold Coast theme park attractions.
The village of Helensvale was the first integrated suburb built on the hinterland fringe of the Gold Coast. Sugar plantations were first established here around 1870 by Arthur Robinson and Ernest White and according to family records, the partners named the plantation after White’s younger sister Helena.
Now Helensvale is a quaint village typical of most residential suburbs on the Gold Coast with a shopping centre, primary and secondary state schools, golf course, parks and a bowls club. It is also a station on the newly-restored Gold Coast-Brisbane rail line, and is close to the Gold Coast's major tourist attractions such as Warner Village Theme Parks'
Wet 'n' Wild,
Warner Bros Movie World at
Oxenford, and
Dreamworld to the north. Paradise Country's 12 hectares offers day tours - see stockmen, feed kangaroos or see sheep shearing.
