Gladstone - South Coast

3,773 km²

Gladstone - South Coast remains a sparsely populated and largely non-residential region of Queensland. It is a vast area where very few people live, making it fundamentally different from more urbanised parts of the state. The landscape is dominated by nature and open space rather than towns or services. Because there are so few residents and almost no street connectivity, the area is almost entirely dependent on cars for travel.
