Gladstone, located in central Queensland, is a coastal city in Australia. While a lot of major industries in this city are mining related, there are also a smattering of heritage-listed sites worth exploring. Some of these include the original Gladstone Post Office, the old Commonwealth Bank Building, and the original town hall and court house. Gladstone is a popular departure point for the beautiful beaches of Boyne Island and Tannum Sands, as well as the Great Barrier Reef. Lake Awoonga, which is about 25 kilometres (16 miles) south of Gladstone is also a popular site for recreational activities. Visitors can fish and swim in the lake, and there are also marked walking trails nearby waiting to be discovered. While visiting, be sure to stay in one of these top Airbnb vacation rentals in Gladstone, Australia.
