ROCKHAMPTON,
QUEENSLAND
Welcome to Rockhampton (‘Rocky’ to its mates), where the hats,
boots and utes are big…but the bulls are even bigger. With over 2.5
million cattle within a 250km radius of Rockhampton, it’s called
Australia’s Beef Capital for a reason. This sprawling country town
is the administrative and commercial centre of central Queensland,
its wide streets and fine Victorian-era buildings (take a stroll down
Quay St) reflecting the region’s prosperous 19th-century heyday of
gold and copper mining and beef-cattle industry.
Straddling the tropic of Capricorn, Rocky can be aptly scorching.
It’s 40km inland and lacks coastal sea breezes; summers are often
unbearably humid. The town has a smattering of attractions but is
best seen as a gateway to the coastal gems of Yeppoon and Great
Keppel Island.
Rockhampton’s charming historical architecture has captured the
hearts of visitors for many decades. Founded in 1853, the city
is home to heritage post offices, historic streetscapes, majestic
cathedrals and quaint homes. The Rockhampton Heritage Village
is an active township museum where you’ll be able to step back in
time and discover the region’s rich history.
