New Auckland
New Auckland is a suburb of Gladstone and is in close proximity to Briffney Creek and Auckland Creek, from which the suburb takes its name.
Auckland Creek is named after the colonial ship, Lord Auckland, which was chartered by the New South Wales Government to carry some of the first settlers to Gladstone. The ship entered the harbour on 25 January 1847.
The suburb is also close to two major road networks, Kirkwood Road and the Dawson Highway.
