Gladstone Qld Map - Surrounds

Gladstone Queensland

Gladstone is located some 550km north of Bribane and just south of Townsville. This thriving Central Queensland town has all the creature comforts, accommodation, shopping and facilities needed to explore this region further at your leisure.

The port of Curtis, which Gladstone is centered on was first found by Matthew Flinders in 1802 on his early voyage to circumnavigate and chart Australia. Now a busy harbour, 20% of what Queensland exports is sent from here.

Despite its busy-ness, Gladstone has kept the balance between the needs of industry and the environment. There are nice beaches here, good for both swimming and surfing and plenty of opportunities to go fishing on the many waterways and open sea.
