The Gladstone region enjoys a sub-tropical climate with islands, beaches and waterways providing the menu for a great holiday. The area is on the doorstep of the southern Great Barrier Reef and provides easy access to coral quays and reef ringed islands perfect for snorkelling. At the heart of the region, the city of Gladstone overlooks a deep water harbour, while just to the south can be found the shires of Miriam Vale and Calliope which have National Parks and quiet secluded beaches. 1770 is the first place in Queensland that Captain James Cook stepped ashore.
