Gladstone is a small mining centre which is Tasmania's most north easterly township. It was founded in the 1870s as part of the tin mining boom in
northeast Tasmania. Nearby is the northern entrance to Mt William National Park, at which you can swim, surf and fish, and explore beautiful white beaches, bushwalks and wildlife.
The cemeteries in the district are of particular interest, which include the graves of miners. To the north of Gladstone beach activities can be enjoyed at Cape Portland, Petal Point, and Musselroe Point. Other popular diversions include bushwalking, exploration of the district's many tin mining ruins (notably at Boobyalla which was once Gladstone's port) and the impressive geological formations. Gemstone enthusiasts are attracted to the district because of the sapphires, topaz, agate and amethysts which can be discovered.
