Tondoon Gardens at Gladstone

Nothing special. A nice walk throug gum trees to a lookout and also rain forest areas.

Gladstone Harbour Cruise

A 2 hour trip showing the industrial areas of Gladstone. Coal and alumina have been here for years. The latest industry is the LNG installations. There are 3 companies putting in their own sites. The one most advanced is massive as seen in the photo. They are spending at least 20 billion each on these and probably will go higher.
There was 4 large barges being loaded with coal as in the photo.
