Heron Island is located off the Queensland city of Gladstone.
It is beautiful island, famous with divers world-wide for its crystal clear water and diving and snorkeling right off the island itself. There is a range of accommodations from bunkhouse to beachside units with private facilities. The Barrier Reef's fragile ecology is taken seriously. Heron is the only international resort on the Great Barrier Reef exclusively devoted to island guests. The Great Barrier Reef consists of a tangled maze of reefs and islands stretching two thousand kilometres along the Queensland coast.
