Centered around the Beef Capital of Australia, Rockhampton, this region is rich in diversity. National Parks, heritage buildings, beautiful beaches, island retreats and international resorts are all within easy reach. Roslyn Bay Harbour is the gateway to the Keppel bunker group of islands and the Great Barrier Reef. At Emerald, west of Rockhampton, you can fossick in the largest sapphire fields in the country or at Mt Hay dig up your own Thunderegg.
