About the Gladstone Region
The region lies on the east coast of Queensland, Australia, within a one-hour flight, or a six-hour drive north of Brisbane. The population of approx. 65,000 is serviced by Gladstone Regional Council.
The Gladstone Region provides a uniquely striking juxtaposition of industry and the pristine natural environment of the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.
Within a 20-minute drive of the Gladstone CBD sits the historic town of Calliope and the river town of Benaraby. There’s also the pristine beach communities of Boyne Island and Tannum Sands and one of Queensland’s premier fishing spots, Lake Awoonga.
To the south, the breathtaking natural surrounds of the Discovery Coast showcase the post-card-perfect town of Miriam Vale. You will also find one of Queensland’s best kept secrets, the quintessentially Aussie beach village of Agnes Water, and the town of Seventeen Seventy.
From Gladstone, you can access Great Barrier Reef islands and lagoons, including Heron, Lady Musgrave, Northwest, and Wilson Islands.
The region’s towns and villages are perfectly nestled within National Parks and beaches resulting in a uniquely laid-back coastal feel that simultaneously provides unencumbered access to glorious hinterlands and bushlands.
