About Gladstone

Gladstone is a small rural locality in north-eastern Tasmania, situated approximately 50 kilometres north of the coastal town of St Helens. It straddles the local government areas of Break O'Day Council and Dorset Council within the North-east region of Tasmania. With a population of around 139 residents recorded at the 2016 Census, Gladstone is one of the more remote localities in Tasmania, characterised by open farmland, native forest, and the rugged landscapes of the island's north-east tip. The locality was originally known as Mount Cameron and had adopted the name Gladstone — believed to be named after British Prime Minister William Gladstone — by 1882.

Life in Gladstone is quintessentially remote Tasmanian rural living, with the community centred on farming and the natural environment. The north-east coast of Tasmania, accessible from Gladstone, is renowned for its wilderness areas including Mount William National Park and the pristine beaches of Musselroe Bay, popular with bushwalkers and four-wheel drive enthusiasts. Residents travel to St Helens or Scottsdale for most services including shopping, schools, and healthcare. The locality appeals to those seeking genuine seclusion, self-sufficiency, and access to some of Tasmania's most unspoilt landscapes.

Gladstone falls under postcode 7264 and is governed by the Dorset Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Lyons, while state elections fall under the Lyons (McIntyre) electorate.
