Hi I live in Boyne island, moving to Tannum soon, came here 6 months ago, I like the surroundings down here but HATE Gladstone , there is nothing in it( don't mean just shops) it has no culture, no atmosphere , most people work mad hours, so it's a ghost town.. If you have a choice think twice about living here, Gladstone was our only way to Oz so I am not moaning, will do our 2 years and then get out of here !i've lived in different countries before so its not that I am homesick or anything, met some good people but just can't imagine to stay here for good not money in the whole world would keep us here :nah:
good luck whatever you decide
