GLADSTONE

Gladstone Home

Centre of the Southern Reef, the Gladstone region is a unique area of Queensland - a region where opportunity awaits. This dynamic area basks in a sub-tropical climate with islands, waterways and beaches on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef. So many landscapes, variety and sunshine provide endless opportunities for enjoyment.

At the heart of the region, the city of Gladstone overlooks its natural deep water harbour. To the south lie the shires of Calliope and Miriam Vale with idyllic, secluded beaches and scenic national parks. The town of Seventeen Seventy is the first place in Queensland that Captain James Cook stepped ashore. Boyne Island is renowned for its beautiful foreshore parks, while its sister city of Tannum Sands offers long sandy beaches for safe coastal recreation.

Gladstone is where you can get back to nature and connect with your surroundings. The reef islands within the region are true coral cays, and day trips are on offer to Lady Musgrave Island and Fitzroy Lagoon where visitors can enjoy diving, snorkelling, fishing, reef walking or exploring the flora and fauna. The region also has several impressive national parks which add camping and 4WD to the adventures you can experience.
