CAPRICORN

Lifestyle

The Capricorn way of life is absolutely infectious. Home to friendly people, captivating places and unforgettable adventures you couldn't imagine anywhere else, the Capricorn region offers so much... from the beaches of the Capricorn Coast to the Sapphire Gemfields on the Central Highlands, and the spectacular coral in the Southern Great Barrier Reef to the sweeping sandstone cliffs of Carnarvon Gorge.

Take in a round of golf, or sample some of the fantastic dining options around Capricorn. With the best of both coast and country, it’s no wonder that Capricorn’s cuisine is as diverse as the region it comes from. Sure Rockhampton is known as the Beef Capital of Australia but beef is not the only thing on the menu in Capricorn. Crocodile is another trademark food of the region! Sourced from the local Koorana Crocodile Farm, visitors can enjoy a croc steak or even a crocodile pie.

Spend a lazy Saturday morning shopping for sun-ripened mangoes, pineapples or lychees at the local Capricorn Coast markets or visit a local seafood shop and indulge in Queensland mud crab or a kilo of prawns to enjoy by the sea.

Feeling thirsty? In Capricorn you’re never far from a cold drink at one of the region's charming old pubs. They have a colourful history and are never short of a quirky character to tell you a yarn. If you like the nightlife at dusk you’ll find a variety of hip bars and clubs in Rockhampton City.
