What's your destination

Current location

Log in

Rockhampton to Mackay

Brisbane City, Queensland

Next up is the Beef Capital of Australia - Rockhampton - where the city, coast, and country all meet in one gracious city. On Sundays, ride on a Purrey Steam Train at the Archer Park Station and Steam Tram Museum. Open Sunday to Friday, view the large collection of railway memorabilia and for a greater insight into life around here from 1850 to 1950 visit the Rockhampton Heritage Village. Walk along Quay Street - a 'historical streetscape' - with glorious sandstone buildings and original delicate wrought iron lace work featured on many. For sightseeing, a leisurely stroll through the Rockhampton Botanic Gardens and Zoo should be included in your itinerary. The mighty Fitzroy flows right through town so you can enjoy barramundi fishing from within the city limits or for a little more excitement catch a live bull ride at the Great Western Hotel.
