Welcome to the region
The city of Gladstone is located 550 kms north of the State capital, Brisbane - an hours flight, a day trip by electric train or highway coach, or half a day by car. The Gladstone Region is a unique area of Queensland - a region where opportunity awaits. The city of Gladstone is developed on hills overlooking the focal point of its economic development - the natural deepwater harbour.The 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 Heron Island and uninhabited coral cay islands 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 renown. Dynamic and progressive, yet naturally beautiful and serene, you are welcome to experience the warmth and hospitality of the Gladstone Region.
