William Golding Memorial Lookout
Great spot to get a better perspective of Gladstone, absolutely beautiful at sunset. Unfortunately the walk is currently closed due to upgrades as well as the cafe.

Great place. Spectacular views. Left hand you can see coal terminal and right hand side you can see aluminium industry. Due to road work some services were closed. We can’t access to the bottom of the hill.

For a view that encapsulates Gladstone you can climb to this lookout at the harbour entrance just above HMAS Gladstone II.From here you can see that RAN vessel, the Marina, harbour wharves at Auckland Point exporting coal, cement powder and alumina, as well as the rippling outline of the islands of the Southern Barrier Reef.The lookout is named to commemorate William Golding (1890-1985) Gladstone’s mayor from (1967-73), who also helped oversee the town’s remarkable infrastructural and industrial development at this time.There are information boards just behind, where you can pause for something cold at the Outlook Cafe

GOOD SPOT TO GET AN OVERALL PERSPECTIVE ON GLADSTONEThe lookout is a short (15 minute) walk from the town centre and provides a good view across town and out over the water.Afterwards , walk down through the park to the waterside where there is a nice cafe and a fun water park for kids.Its fairly hilly and involves quite a few steps so is not recommended for people with mobility issues (but you can drive to the lookout)

Worth visiting for the surreal views of palm trees concrete silos, serene blue ocean and mountains of coal. The cafe here was closed for renovations when we visited with no dates posted for completion.

Nice lookout. It's being worked on at the moment so you have to park nearby and walk up, and the waterfall is not working. The cafe is closed, too.
