Six it Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Its an industrial town. Lots of people working on the Gas builds on the island.. or on the coal terminal expansion at Wiggins. I live in Tanuum Sands and its a good little burb only 30mins travel in the morning Only real issue is that the town has not been able to keep up with the pop surge during all this work.. so there just isnt enough shops and service providers ( doctors are always full) so its not unusual for us to hop up to Rocky to do some shopping.. or visit a specialist doc in yeppon But..if you can get into the construction boom here.. the money is eye wateringly good.. and it seems like it has a few more yrs to run ( they are talking about a channel duplication - and another Gas company , Arrow Energy, is close to saying yes or no to going ahead with their Plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millers Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I also live in Tannum sands nd if you are thining about living here i would defo think about Tannum of Boyne......my hubby commutes and it is a nice journey to Gladstone. We love living near the sea and the nice fresh air here is great as Gladstone air can be a bit dirty with all the industry that is there. Do you have Kids HOG2007?.feel free to pm me if you need anymore info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katerina Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Could anybody tell me what Gladstone is like as a place to live/work/migrate to? Many thanks 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
