Queensland’s industrial port of Gladstone is the state’s major centre for heavy industry but there is much more than just manufacturing and light mineral processing. Offshore is one of the Great Barrier Reef treasures in Heron Island while to the southeast is the Discovery Coast.

While many visitors to Gladstone come for business, this dynamic regional city, just south of the Tropic of Capricorn, has much for holiday-makers to see, enjoy and experience and even more in the broader region. Gladstone Airport has frequent daily connections to Brisbane or by road Gladstone is approximately 514kms north of Brisbane (just over 6 hours drive time).

The city offers a good range of accommodation including hotels and apartments, motels and backpacker hostels. Choose one of the major hotels and apartments accommodation in the centre of town, close to dining options and the Marina, or in the neighbouring district of Boyne Island and Tannum Sands south of Gladstone, which offers a choice of holiday parks, motels and self contained units.

Still in Gladstone Region, some 130km southeast of the port city is the Discovery Coast and the twin holiday communities of Seventeen Seventy and Agnes Water. As the most northern surf beach in Queensland before the Great Barrier Reef calms the waves, this pristine stretch of coastline is a popular holiday spot offering resorts, holiday apartments, motels, beach houses and holiday villas. Self cater, enjoy the room service of a resort hotel or dine at the local cafes and taverns.
