Gladstone City is full of unexpected surprises. It is the state’s engine room; an industrial powerhouse of global significance that is well and truly at the forefront of the resources industry

This dynamic city offers a range of entertainment including the Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum and Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre, a wide variety of restaurants and bars and local history with countless colonial buildings.

At the heart of Gladstone’s city centre is an impressive natural deep-water harbour. Each year this harbour plays host to the annual Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race, marked by the Gladstone Harbour Festival.
