Hi Merri, I just checked my Atlas and there is no Isle of Gladstone listed. There is a Gladstone in Manitoba, Canada, one in N.S.W. and another in Queensland as well as one listed as being in S. Aust. I am assuming the last abreviation is for Southern Austrlia. I looked at the one in Manitoba to see if it was near a lake or other body of water where there might be islands, but while Lake Manitoba is not far away, it's not that close either. Sorry I can't help you.
