GLADSTONE x TALISMAN SABRE 2025
📍 Right place. Right time. Right port.
This week, Gladstone quietly steps into the spotlight as international military forces roll in for Operation Talisman Sabre—Australia’s largest joint military exercise.
👇 Swipe through for a closer look at what’s unfolding along our Harbour:

US Navy and allied warships lined up in the golden light, bringing tonnes of equipment and precision planning to our shores.

AB1066 in the harbour, loaded and ready—one of many unsung workhorses behind the larger ops.
📸 Image 3 – The human side of the mission
A quiet moment between Australian Army personnel. Early starts, long hours, and calm before the next task.
Gladstone plays a vital support role—right on the edge of international operations, yet still deeply local.
💪 Proud to capture these rare glimpses of global-scale coordination happening in our own backyard.
