Rockhampton on the Tropic of Capricorn, just 40 kilometres inland from the Pacific Ocean sits astride Queenslands largest river, the Fitzroy. Queenslands favourite tropical city, Rockhampton 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. Rockhamptons location between the coast and the rural hinterland provides visitors and residents with the choice of unlimited investment and recreational pursuits.
