Rockhampton

Mar 26th. We are now in Rockhampton after arriving here late last night on the coach. The YHA is a little basic but OK and now we have a full day to kill before getting the night coach to Airlie Beach which is the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands. To say there is little to do in Rocky is an understatement - it is OK to break up a journey but that is it. Rockhampton is the beef capital of Australia, there are over 2 million cattle in a 250km radius of the town. The steaks are good.
