TONDOON BOTANIC GARDENS REVIEWS
Been many times over many years... Used to love it when savour the flavour used to run their business in there, please put a restaurant back in there! Grounds, playgrounds etc kept clean and tidy. Kid friendly etc.
Lovely walk through the gardens, shame we couldn't see all of it due to recent weather damage. What was undamaged was worth the visit. Great for children, easy walk for all ages and abilities. Loved all the birdlife.
Stunning place to visit with many different walking tracks and stopping points. So peaceful, so well kept and so much to see. So easy to spend a couple of hours casually walking around the property.

GLADSTONE REGIONAL ART GALLERY & MUSEUM REVIEWS
Very enjoyable visit. All three exhibitions were excellent. Ping Carlyon: Our Shining Stars was a wonderful insight to some very talented local young people. The Clare Belfrage touring exhibition was a chance to see something very special. The gift shop has some lovely things for sale.
Went to the exhibition and the theme was sacrifice. The exhibition was very impactful and I got this postcard, designed by a local artist. Staffs are so nice and friendly.
Great gallery, welcoming staff, chock-full of art. Well worth a visit!
