Holidays in Gladstone

When chucking a sickie becomes way too easy, it's time to escape the daily grind and say hello to Gladstone!

It lies 640 kilometres to the south of Australia's capital, Canberra.

Does chilling out on the shore sound enticing? Enjoy a day at Trousers Point Beach or Dora Point Beach.

There is a variety of delightful natural attractions surrounding Gladstone. Why not head 35 kilometres to Binalong Bay? Alternatively, enjoy the sights and sounds of St Helens Waterfront, 40 kilometres away.

Seeking even more awesome attractions? Head to Eddystone, 20 kilometres east of Gladstone, for Mt. William National Park and Eddystone Lighthouse. Alternatively, Derby is 25 kilometres to the southwest, and it's here you'll discover the Derby Schoolhouse Museum and the Derby Tin Mine Centre.

City Park, the National Automobile Museum and Royal Park are all close to Mowbray, 90 kilometres to the southwest. Want a few more excuses to swing by? Launceston College and the Queen Victoria Museum aren't far away either.

Cater to your inner explorer and delight in the region's landscapes with a bit of rock climbing. Or, maybe you could go mountain climbing?

Leave the organising to your guide and meet new people on some guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours.

Indulge in one of your hobbies or have a crack at something new in the waters of Tasmania. There are a variety of watersports on offer, including rafting and canoeing.

If you get some nice weather, why not explore the surrounding area's open-air museums?

Your eyes shouldn't have all the fun while visiting Tasmania. Give your taste buds a little attention as well by sampling some of the local food and drink. After all, you can't say you've truly experienced a destination until you've tasted its flavours.

Are you curious about some of the traditional ingredients used in cooking here? Prepare to taste beef and salmon in a number of your meals.

No true foodie would leave Gladstone without tasting one or two of the classic dishes, such as salt and pepper squid and meat pie.

'Stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts', and that's not just a coincidence. There's no more scrumptious way to let your troubles melt away than with peach melba, a sweet treat often found on dinner tables here.

To beer or not to beer? Of course, the answer is always beer. When you're in this part of the world, Cascade Special Stout is the name to say.

When the night begs for something stronger, ask for Bundaberg Spiced Rum. On the rocks or neat — your barkeeper should know the best way to drink it.

Start your evening in fine form with a drop of a local favourite like Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon or Huon Valley Pinot Noir. Taste for structure, texture and balance, or simply have a bottle with your mates.

It's never easy to part with a region as charming as Tasmania, but it will always be there awaiting your return.

Backed up security checkpoints, long lines and delayed flights. Airports are often exhausting. Give yourself extra time to get to Tullamarine Airport (MEL). Located 460 kilometres to the northwest, this is the closest terminal.
