Fish the Fitzroy, Rockhampton is the home of the Barramundi! Explore the estuaries and delta of this vast system targeting Barra and King Threadfin. Fish for Saratoga in the unspoilt tributaries of the Fitzroy. Target Permit and other fly species on the great array of flats in the Capricorn Coast area. Marvel at the beauty of the Keppel Islands and Great Barrier Reef, while targeting a range of pelagic and reef species.

Rockhampton Botanic Gardens are amongst the oldest public gardens in Queensland. Entry to the gardens and zoo is FREE. They open daily from 6am to 6pm. Located within the Gardens is the Rockhampton Zoo. It is home to over 50 species of native animals from across Australia and exotic animals from around the world! Its the perfect place for families to see animals in their natural surroundings. The Gardens Tearooms is the café nestled under the 150 year old Banyan Figs and offer a range of meals and refreshments as well as catering for special events. Indoor and outdoor dining options are available. The Japanese Gardens provide tranquillity and peace, while the Cenotaph honours our Australian soldiers.

Beautiful calm well laid out gardens with a lagoon filled with water birds and a war memorial, including a 64 feet grey marble obelisk on a plinth, commemorating the Anzacs; kiosk had a large menu and food was good - outdoor table settings under banyan fig trees were beseiged by ,rainbow lorikeets, blue faced honey eaters, ibis, miners and a kookaburra, which added to the fun. A free zoo is adjacent to the gardens. While I don't like animals in cages, some of these had been rehabilitated after being hit by cars and were unable to fend for themselves in the wild. All animals were in good condition and it was a delightful way for children to interact with and be introduced to species.

Nestled within the Botanic Gardens, Rockhampton Zoo has been at its present site since 1925. While the animal section at that time consisted of monkeys, cassowary, possums, guinea pigs and pea fowl, today you can discover more than 60 species of Australian and exotic animals. Whether it is chimpanzees and cassowaries, dingoes and otters, or crocodiles and koalas, there are an array of fascinating animals to meet and observe in their carefully recreated habitats. Local tip: Time your visit with one of the many daily feeding sessions throughout the Zoo for a more up close and personal experience.

This Zoo is FREE!!! That’s right I said FREE!!! No entry fee as all, it has random donation boxes throughout if you want to support the zoo but no obligations ???? Such an amazing experience and fun for the whole family, it is a very nice size zoo with a lot of beautiful creatures throughout, they usually do talks and feeding times as well but not with current restrictions ???? Definitely add this to your list, even if just passing through, great hour well spent for sure and when we went there was a baby chimp, super cute! “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.
