Rockhampton Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Rockhampton
Rockhampton is Akubra-donning, hand-on-heart, good old-fashioned country Queensland.

Rocky, as it’s known down at the pub, is one of the region’s earliest settlements and has history written into its heritage streetscapes. Go on a trip through time as you explore the city’s historic buildings. As the beef capital of the country, Rockhampton can serve up a steak like nowhere else. Get amongst the action at weekly rodeos or go bush to experience mountain views and amazing limestone caves.
