Rockhampton, well known as the Beef capital of Queensland, lies just above the Tropic of Capricorn, and acts as gateway to the Capricorn Coast to the east, and the Outback to the west. It's 40 km inland from the coast on the Fitzroy river, and 640km north of Brisbane.

Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which lends itself to an abundance of outdoor activities. Popular attractions include Riverbank Parklands, on the banks of Fitzroy River, the Capricorn Coast and Great Keppel Island, a large neighbouring island off the Capricorn Coast, the vast majority of which is national park.

Rockhampton is rich in natural beauty, with a tropical climate and all year outdoor lifestyle. Rockhampton's population is approximately 60,000, and the total population for the greater Rockhampton district is 100,000. There is a thriving commercial and business centre surrounded by significant mining and rural industries.
