Capricorn Caves Just 30 minutes north of Rockhampton, the Capricorn Caves boasts stunning rock formations, cave networks and their inhabitants, and fossils of creatures from lifetimes ago. These spectacular caves date back 390 million years ago when the sedimentary limestone rock originated under the sea as coral growing in shallow waters. These days the caves are open to adventure caving, abseiling, climbing and a high ropes course with accommodation options. Rockhampton Heritage Village Be prepared to step back in time at the Rockhampton Heritage Village, which is located just south from the Capricorn Caves along the Bruce Highway. This museum tells the tale of the Rockhampton district between 1850 and 1950. View vintage vehicles, a hall of clocks, timber cutters camp, a blacksmith shop, homesteads and cottages, vintage machinery and a range of friendly farm animals. Dreamtime Cultural Centre Just a few minutes away, you'll stumble across the 12 hectares of landscaped gardens which are the centrepiece of the Dreamtime Cultural Centre. The Vanishing Culture of the Sandstone Belt - a stunning 34-metre display of recreated sandstone caves not only entertains but also educates on the environment of the Central Queensland Sandstone Belt. Also portrayed are the traditional Aboriginal people of this area, the early days of the Aboriginal mythology, and the significance of Kenniff's cave, being both the history of Aboriginal occupation in Australia and the early history of cattle-duffing in the region.
