About Rockhampton
Rockhampton (also known as “Rocky”) is a compact and student-friendly city in north-east Australia.

Brisbane, the State capital of Queensland, is about an hour’s flight south of Rockhampton.
Rockhampton has a population of around 80,000, meaning it’s easy to get around. The attraction for many students is that Rockhampton is a gateway to many of the natural wonders of northern Australia including the Capricorn Caves, Great Keppel Island, and of course, Australia’s top natural treasure, the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef.
