Rockhampton Queensland

Rockhampton Accommodation

Rockhampton Queensland is situated on the tropic of Capricorn, the invisible line between the tropics and the sub-tropics.

To get there, if you are using bus travel, Rockhampton to Gladstone (the closest port town) is just 100km. To put that in perspective, it is almost 2000 km from Rockhampton to Melbourne. Thankfully, Rockhampton airport is nearby if you prefer to travel by plane.

The street map of Rockhampton shows that it is a town touched by colonial history with its lovingly-restored old architecture. The barmy tropical Rockhampton weather and friendly people will welcome you.

The map of Rockhampton shows the main attractions and only hints at the tourism venues north Rockhampton has to offer, like Capricorn Caves or the Dreamtime cultural centre.

The city centre and the south should not be forgotten either. Attractions like the Great Western Hotel, the Fitzroy River and the heritage village are among the many astounding places to visit.
