On the Bruce Highway, at the turn-off for Yeppoon, is the Aboriginal Dreamtime Cultural Centre, one of the most interesting institutions of its kind in Australia.
Round the town are a number of old farms which have been in the same family for generations: the Glenmore Homestead in Parkhurst, 12km north; the Gracemere Homestead, just off the Capricorn Highway, 11km southwest; and St Aubin's Village and Herb Farm, Canoona Road, near the airport.
Other features of interest round Rockhampton are the limestone caves in the Berserker Range (e.g. the Cammoo Caves and Olsen's Capricorn Caverns, 23km north) and the old mining town of Mount Morgan, 38km southwest on the Burnett Highway.
40km northeast of Rockhampton are the beautiful beaches of Yeppoon and Emu Park, with the Singing Ship monument to Captain Cook at Emu Park. Great Keppel Island, a popular holiday island, lies 13km off the Capricorn Coast.
