GLADSTONE

Boyne, Tannum & Benaraby

The Boyne Tannum and Benaraby areas are treasure troves for the fishing enthusiasts among us.
First off, the seaside communities of Boyne Island and Tannum Sands offer a relaxed coastal lifestyle centred on the outdoors and maritime pursuits. The award winning foreshore of Millennium Esplanade at Tannum Sands Beach is found just nine kilometres off the Bruce Highway. Its golden sands make it the perfect spot for a leisurely beach holiday.

Located on the Bruce Highway and near the Boyne River, the small town of Benaraby is a favourite stop for travellers. This charming country town is well known for its fishing and is the gateway to the city of Gladstone.
Stop and stretch your legs at the Boyne River rest area or grab a bite to eat at the road house or general store on the highway. Before venturing on to the city of Gladstone, be sure to visit Lake Awoonga. Found just 30 minutes from Gladstone, Lake Awoonga’s world-class Barramundi hatchery has become very popular in recent years.  A jewel of the Bass to Barra Trail, a visit to this lake is a must for any fishing enthusiast.
