Rockhampton

The landscape around Rockhampton is a broad Fitzroy River plain edged by dry-tropical vegetation, which has shaped both the city’s riverfront layout and its cattle-based economy. Known as Australia’s Beef Capital, Rockhampton is a major service centre for Central Queensland’s grazing country and hosts the triennial Beef Australia industry event. Nineteenth-century civic and commercial buildings recall the era when the town developed as a river port and supply base for inland goldfields. The Fitzroy River remains central to local identity, running past parks, heritage streets and the city centre.
