It was very nice to see a Boeing 737 land at Gladstone. Not every day one flies into Gladstone. The reverse thrust was very loud and got all the locals out of their houses to see what had arrived!
And a couple of minutes later a QantasLink Dash 8-Q400 arrives and it was VH-QOI in Tamworth Country Music Festival livery.

And back off to Brisbane!
And ZK-SLA followed shortly after
After the 737 departed I went for a walk.

There were some shops nearby in a suburb called Clinton which is right next to the airport. I found a nice takeaway place and grabbed some lunch before returning to the airport. I took some photos of the terminal and then relaxed before my flight home.
