Rockhampton

　　Rockhampton is a coastal city situated in central Queensland, Australia, along the Fitzroy River. It is one of the state’s most beloved sunny cities. With sunshine on approximately 300 days out of the year, Rockhampton enjoys abundant sunlight all year round, making it a vibrant hub for outdoor activities and an ideal destination for both travel and soaking up the sun.

　　Many of Rockhampton’s buildings are listed on heritage registers, including schools, the Rockhampton City Hall, the Rockhampton Post Office, St Mark's Church, and St Joseph's Cathedral—testaments to the city’s history and well worth visiting. The Rockhampton Art Gallery houses a rich collection of artworks by Australian artists from the 1940s to the 1970s, making it a must-visit for art enthusiasts. Kershaw Gardens, opened in 1988, features a wide range of native Australian plants, especially those unique to Queensland, many of which are rare and exceptional. The Rockhampton Heritage Village is a living rural museum where visitors can experience the city’s vibrant historical and cultural legacy.
