Gladstone

Gladstone remains a largely intact river town with close links to the development of the Macleay River valley. From its wharves, passengers and freight destined for Austral Eden, the Belmore River, Kinchela and Kinchela Creek, and other lower river areas were landed or despatched many of its historic buildings are still in place and a walking tour is available.  Gladstone today has built on its heritage  and reinvented itself with galleries, cafes unique shops and a very special arts market on the third Sunday of every month.
