At the heart of the
region, the city of Gladstone overlooks its natural deep water
harbour. To the south lie the shires of Calliope and Miriam Vale
with idyllic, secluded beaches and scenic National Parks. The Town
of 1770 is the first place in Queensland that Captain James Cook
stepped ashore. Boyne Island is renowned for its beautiful
foreshore parks, while its sister city of Tannum Sands offers long
sandy beaches for safe coastal recreation. |
