The difference is clear. Today Gladstone is moving with the times. The district has witnessed massive change in industry and demographics. Tourism has come to the area and the 'Gladstone Experience' has taken on a meaning of its own. There are now sufficient places to stay.
Vineyards are an attraction in themselves.
To help manage and foster all that the district has to offer a Gladstone Promotions Group has been formed. It will work to improve local amenities and encourage and promote events in the Gladstone district as a whole. Hosts Bea and Richard, Ph 372 7608.
