Rockhampton, the Beef Capital of Australia is located on the Tropic of Capricorn. Founded in 1853, the majesty of Rockhampton's historical architecture has captured the hearts of visitors for decades. Many fine public and private buildings, including the Customs House, old Post Office, Cathedrals, banks, business houses and homes, are constant reminders of the city with an exciting background.
Rising out of Rockhampton's north-eastern suburbs, Mt Archer National Park provides magnificent views of the city not only for tourists, and showcases a spectacular range of native Australian flora and fauna. Frazer Park at the summit of Mt Archer is approximately 604 meters above sea level. Rockhampton Heritage Village is an active township museum where visitors can experience Rockhampton's rich and colorful history.
There is also the Dreamtime Cultural Center, set in some 30 acres of natural bushland on Ancient Tribal Sites. Just north of Rockhampton are Capricorn Caverns, magnificent limestone caves, Great Keppel Island and Yeppoon are worth a tour. Great Keppel Island is a popular island to visitors and is accessible by a 30-minute ferry ride. Two ferry services operate daily out of Keppel Bay Marina and Rosslyn Bay. Yeppoon is the Capricorn Coast's major town, which has retained its village style appeal, yet offers a variety of wonderful restaurants, accommodation and shops.
