The Region

The Gladstone Region is home to some of the world's most amazing natural attractions and world class industries.  Laze the day away on a beach, or take an adventure tour through one of the Region's National Parks - the choice are endless.

The Gladstone community has grown dramatically from a "sleepy hollow" township to a major industrial city in less than 20 years, yet has retained the charm of a coastal resort setting with an enviable lifestyle. As the centre of the Southern Reef, access to two of three Queensland coral island resorts offers visitors the miracle of the Great Barrier Reef. To the south of the city lie the shires of Calliope and Miriam Vale. From idyllic, secluded beaches to scenic National Parks, these shires complete the diversity for which the region is renowned.

Dynamic and progressive, yet naturally beautiful and serene, you are welcome to experience the warmth and hospitality of The Gladstone Region. Gladstone is a harbor city which has captured both the enthusiasm of its citizens and the attention of the world.
