Rockhampton  is the busy hub of the Central Queensland region – where the fascinating landscape, well-established infrastructure base, and rich heritage beautifully combine to bring the best of the City, Country and Coast together in one city - Rockhampton.

On the Tropic of Capricorn, just 40 kilometres inland from the Pacific Ocean, Rockhampton sits astride Queensland's largest river, the Fitzroy.  It is bounded by the magnificent Berserker Ranges and Mount Archer (607 metres high) which provide an imposing backdrop to a busy, growing city that is both friendly and vibrant. 

The city area covers 187 square kilometres and offers all the benefits of metropolitan living with room to breathe.  The region extends to the Capricorn Coast in the east and Mount Morgan in the west.

Rockhampton's location between the coast and the rural hinterland provides visitors and residents with the choice of unlimited investment and recreational pursuits.

Rockhampton enjoys a tropical climate with warm summers and gorgeous winters.  It has a population of around 60,000.
