The Gladstone region, gateway to the world renowned Southern Great Barrier Reef
Located five and a half hours by road, north of Brisbane and just over an hour south of Rockhampton, Gladstone is well situated. The Gladstone region lies at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef and has a population of approximately 63 000 with 35 000 living in the city.
Gladstone’s marina is the departure point for visits to internationally renowned Heron Island and the private hideaway that is Wilson Island.
Just one and half hours drive to the south of Gladstone, Agnes Water and the town of 1770, have Queensland’s most northern surf beaches. The combination of experiences such as day trips to Lady Musgrave Island, National Park 4x4, or a dip in the water at Chinaman’s Beach makes these twin towns an idyllic escape, like no other.
The Gladstone region has so much to offer by way of tourism, encompassing coastal, city and rural venues and attractions. Equally, the lifestyle choices the area presents are extensive, as are the opportunities for investment, business and employment.
