Rockhampton, Regional center in Queensland, Australia
Rockhampton stretches along the banks of the Fitzroy River, featuring Victorian buildings and wide boulevards laid out in a grid pattern similar to Melbourne.
The discovery of gold at Canoona in 1859 brought an influx of settlers to Rockhampton, transforming it from a pastoral settlement into a growing city.
The Darumbal Aboriginal people maintain their ancestral connections to the land where Rockhampton now stands, with their language region encompassing the current city area.
The city offers transportation links through its airport and railway station, connecting travelers to major Australian destinations via regular flights and train services.
The Rockhampton Museum of Art holds one of the largest regional art collections in Australia, displaying works within its extensive gallery spaces.
