Tour with a Cheap Car Rental in Rockhampton

Being the self styled "Beef Capital of Australia", the economy revolves mostly around the rural industries, but there are sights to see here. The huge concrete bulls on the north and south gateways to town, the Beef Expo held triennially, and historic Quay Street are all but a part of what Rockhampton has to offer. It is also a great central location due to it's proximity to the Capricorn Coast (half hours drive away) and furthermore to the Keppel group's islands, a popular tourist destination.
