What to do
​
Rocky is known as the Beef Capital of Australia, and the town has a wonderful country living vibe because of it. There is no shortage of beautiful sites to visit around Rockhampton, ranging from bush walks, caves and waterfalls to beaches and nearby islands. The Rockhampton RCS students enjoy taking part in the local ParkRun, trivia nights, and live music events in town.
