Bundaberg and Gladstone are gateways to the Southern Great Barrier Reef, where coral islands, marine life and quieter stretches of Queensland’s coast replace the busier tropical resorts further north. From Lady Elliot and Lady Musgrave islands to Agnes Water and the Town of 1770, the region combines reef adventures with beaches, wildlife and relaxed coastal road trips.
