Capricorn Information

Queensland's Capricorn Coast is a place for a real holiday, one where you take your swimmers, your hiking boots, fishing rod and a good book. It offers a lovely blend of laid-back country towns with diverse natural beauty. Enjoy the coastal towns and cities, tropical islands, rainforests and gemfields.

Rockhampton is the largest town in this region. Situated on the banks of the broad Fitzroy River, this city was built on the wealth of gold rushes and cattle empires. Its lovely architecture and grand old pubs keep the character of the city alive.

North-east of Rockhampton is Yeppoon, a pleasant township offering a village-style appeal, a wide range of restaurants and accommodation, as well as a world-class golf resort and access by ferry to beautiful Great Keppel Island.

Further south, Gladstone, one of Australia's busiest ports and a major industrial site, sits on a beautiful harbour and provides a good access point to Heron Island. From the large parks to the Galdstone Marina, the botanic gardens to the art gallery and the nearby beach havens of Agnes Water and the historically important Town of 1770, there is no shortage of places to enjoy your favourite pastimes.

This dynamic Queensland region basks in warm sub tropical climate - it's many charms are being discovered by a new generation of tourist who are coming to understand what many of the locals have long known, the Capricorn area has been blessed by nature.
