Rockhampton, population 57 800, is a coastal Queensland town situated on the Tropic of Capricorn in Darumbal country. Being the beef capital of Australia, Rockhampton is also the capital of the surrounding agricultural district. The central business district, particularly Quay Street and East Street, make one of Australias most elegant streetscapes. The concentration of old buildings, tree-lined streets and the Fitzroy River all combine to make Rockhampton a unique place.
