At the 2006 census, Gladstone had a population of 629.[3] The town services the surrounding district with two pubs, three churches, a bank, post office and several shops and small businesses providing basic goods and services. The closest hospital is 11 km away in a neighbouring rural town, but doctors take appointments in the town’s medical clinic. There is a kindergarten (approximately 12 enrollments), state primary school (63), Catholic primary school (60) and a secondary school (approximately 205 students, drawn from the wider district). Gladstone has sporting/social clubs providing for Aussie Rules football, netball, cricket, tennis, golf, lawn bowls, swimming (at the local outdoor pool) and soccer (newly formed for school-aged children), all seasonal. Sporting competitions occur between clubs from the neighbouring towns within a radius of about 75 km. Wheat and sheep are the main farming produce of the region, but Gladstone has the largest inland grain storage facility in the Southern Hemisphere, storing wheat, barley, durum wheat, peas, faba beans and fiesta beans. The Anglican Diocese of Willochra is based in Gladstone, with the Registry (the Diocesan Office) housed in building in the main street. In addition the Bishop of Willochra lives in Bishop's House which is on the Main North Road. Gladstone is also the home of Trend drinks, a local soft drink manufacturer, with a history dating back to 1876. HistoryThe town of Gladstone was privately laid out by Matthew Moorhouse east of the railway line in October 1872 on Section 31, Hundred of Yangya. A government town named Booyoolie was laid out in March 1875 on the western side of the railway line in the Hundred of Booyoolie. In 1940, Booyoolie was renamed Gladstone to match the private town and railway station. The name Gladstone is derived from the prime minister of England, William Ewart Gladstone.[4] During World War II, the RAAF No. 28 Inland Aircraft Fuel Depot was established near Gladstone. It consisted of large tanks concealed under earthen mounds.[5] The Gladstone depot was one of 31 fuel depots established across Australia in places that were remote from airfields and immune to naval attack.[6] Heritage listingsGladstone has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
Railways{{further|Gladstone railway station, South Australia}}Gladstone is located on the main Crystal Brook-Broken Hill railway line, with branches going north and south. Originally, all the lines were {{RailGauge|3ft6in}} gauge narrow gauge railways, starting with the line from Port Pirie in 1875, extended to Petersburg (now Peterborough) in 1880 and to Cockburn (on the state border near Broken Hill) in 1888. A branch from Gladstone to Laura in 1884 was extended to Wilmington in 1915. The line from the south (extending the line that terminated at Blyth) was completed in 1894. In 1927, the line from Hamley Bridge through Blythe to Gladstone was converted to {{RailGauge|5ft3in}} broad gauge, making Gladstone a break-of-gauge junction.[10] In 1970, the line from Port Pirie to Broken Hill was converted to {{RailGauge|ussg}} standard gauge making Gladstone into a rare three-gauge break-of-gauge junction as the Wilmington railway line to the north remained an isolated narrow gauge line.[11] In the 1980s, the broad and narrow gauge lines were closed, leaving Gladstone as a purely standard gauge station. The station is still served by the weekly Indian Pacific, run by Great Southern Rail. It runs to Adelaide on Thursdays, and to Sydney on Tuesdays. {{s-rail-start}}{{s-rail|title=GSR}}{{s-line|system=GSR|line=Indian Pacific|previous=Adelaide|next=Peterborough|state2=South Australia}}{{end}}References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/# |work=Property Location Browser Report |title=Placename Details: Gladstone Railway Station |id=SA0026183 |date=2 December 2008 |publisher=Government of South Australia |accessdate=19 December 2016}} {{Northern Areas Council localities |state=collapsed}}2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article47205687 |title=NEW TOWN NAMES APPROVED |newspaper=The Advertiser (Adelaide) |location=South Australia |date=26 July 1940 |accessdate=5 September 2016 |page=10 |via=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^1 {{Census 2006 AUS|id=UCL407800|name=Gladstone (L) (Urban Centre/Locality)|accessdate=2008-06-23|quick=on}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/manning/pn/g/g4.htm#gladstone |title=Place Names of South Australia - G |work=The Manning Index of South Australian History |access-date=19 December 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ozatwar.com/raaf/gladstonesafueldepot.htm |title=No 28 Inland Aircraft Fuel Depot (RAAF), Gladstone, South Australia, during WW2 |author=Peter Dunn |work=Australia @ War |date=6 September 2006 |accessdate=6 December 2015}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.avonadvocate.com.au/story/1416658/northam-war-history-rediscovered/ |title=Northam war history rediscovered |date=9 April 2013 |author=Peter Weston |work=The Avon Valley Advocate |accessdate=6 December 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://apps.planning.sa.gov.au/HeritageSearch/HeritageItem.aspx?p_heritageno=16383 |title=Former National Australia Bank Gladstone Branch |publisher=Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources |work=South Australian Heritage Register |accessdate=17 February 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160301094337/http://apps.planning.sa.gov.au/HeritageSearch/HeritageItem.aspx?p_heritageno=16383 |archivedate=1 March 2016 |df=dmy }} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://apps.planning.sa.gov.au/HeritageSearch/HeritageItem.aspx?p_heritageno=16382 |title=Bank SA (originally Savings Bank of SA) Building |publisher=Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources |work=South Australian Heritage Register |accessdate=17 February 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160301104058/http://apps.planning.sa.gov.au/HeritageSearch/HeritageItem.aspx?p_heritageno=16382 |archivedate=1 March 2016 |df=dmy }} 9. ^{{cite web | url=http://apps.planning.sa.gov.au/HeritageSearch/HeritageItem.aspx?p_heritageno=16386 | title=Former Gladstone Gaol | publisher=Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources | work=South Australian Heritage Register | accessdate=17 February 2016}} 10. ^Horse and Steam, Wheat and Copper Callaghan, W.H.
