Don't forget the LNG plans, and proposed coal terminal.

I was thinking it must be a good area for the future, but looks like investors were already thinking that a long time before I was :)

I've been up there, still a fairly relaxed place, but if all these projects do get off the ground, will be quite a bustling metropolis.

I just did a search and there is currently listed 190 properties under $350k in Gladstone itself. Looks like some may already be getting a bit worried due to the GFC.
