Gladstone is a city with a difference - tourism, community and industry
are in harmony, retaining a pleasant lifestyle and environment.
Named Port Curtis by Lieutenant Matthew Flinders when he entered the natural
deepwater harbour in 1802, Gladstone is sheltered by two large Islands - Curtis
and Facing, and was given its name in 1853 to honour the British statesman, Sir
