Out & About Gladstone

Since Wally arrived in Gladstone, Queensland, Australia, he has not had time to stand still!
His first tour was out & about in the local area.
He first visited the Gladstone Art Gallery where he bumped into a statue of Mr Gladstone - our city's namesake.
His next stop was our beautiful marina, where he looked at some very large (and expensive) boats and dreamed about going out to wonderful Heron Island - a coral cay island about 2 hours by water from Gladstone. Heron Island has the most beautiful marine life around it. While at the marina, Wally met some new friends at the Gladstone Area Promotions Bureau.
The next stop was the Gladstone Exercise Park. Wally had some difficulties here as his legs were a little short for most of the equipment!
Next was the Tondoon Botanical Gardens. Wally loved all the massive Eucalyptus (Gum) trees and had a bit of a fright when a scrub turkey tried to run off with him. As well as the naughty srub turkey, Wally met up with some duck & some turtles. Can you see the turtles in the water with the ducks?
Wally then took some time to visit the Educational Experience at the Gardens - checking out the art activities & Question Tree.
Hope you like the quick tour - more to come. CHECK BACK SOON
