Rockhampton is the beef capital of Australia and there are over 3 million cattle in the region. Beyond cattle dating, ‘Rocky’ as it is known up here can offer you the quintessential cowboy experience. Yes, those boys with big hats, big belts and bandy legs can be seen any day of the week in this town.
Even the pub, the Great Western Hotel, right in the centre of town, has a real live rodeo ring where the beer garden should be!
If you want even more bull, on weekdays you can experience the quaint, unique Cattle Auctions at the Gracemere Sale yards and witness the yakka of the auctioneers.
