lived there a year 2 years ago
no real workshops mate or dyno joints - is 2 dyno joints if you want to do a AFR check or similar, however wouldnt trust with your import seems mainly for the v8 crowd. better off taking it to brisbane for either ERD or mercury motorsports to work on.
beneraby drag strip isnt too far away (30min)
few imports around, never heard of any real meets or similar going on.
as for roads around gladstone? all the roads where in pretty bad shape when i was there i.e. pot holed to f**k from the flooding etc. but the road between brissie and gladstone i gave it some shit on my way up.
good road between barney point and parsons point to drop skids lol
i would just go on random drives with the girlfriend either north or south grab some fish and chips etc, nothing to great to report on
if you are ever in brisbane give Mt Nebo a crack, good fun that
