Fishing In
The region is the gateway to the heart of the Southern Great Barrier Reef, where you will find a number of islands with camping spots such as North West Island, Mast Head Island, and Lady Musgrave Island. These locations, as well as many other reefs and shoals, are well known for the Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Sweetlip, Nannygai, Spanish Mackeral, and seasonal Billfish.
Gladstone is also the main departure point for charter boats to the Swain and Saumarez Reefs, and beyond.
