Gladstone road trips

Several good road trip routes pass through Gladstone in Queensland. Here are the distances and driving times from Mackay.

Gladstone is an industrial city on the Queensland coast. It’s not an obvious destination in its own right, but it’s a decent option for an overnight stay on a journey up or down the Queensland coast. The beach suburb of Tannum Sands is arguably more appealing than the town itself.

Given that Gladstone has an airport, it can also be the start or end point for an Australian road trip.
