what is rockhampton like?

[Visitor7]

It's very hot and dry in summer, like Rach said. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere. Well to me it did when I was kid anyway lol.

good schools?

[Visitor7]

I went to Gracemere Primary, and my sister went to Cathedral college. Can't tell you much about Gracemere (don't really remember). Mum says Cathedral College was a good school. However this was 20 years ago.

[Rach75]

private or public, the grammer (private) are supposed to be good schools theres a girls one and a co-ed both prep thru yr 12 the cathedral college is good as well again another private school but is only highschool

st anthony's is supposed to have a good rep for primary as well

anything else...after living in Moura I wouldn't move back to rocky only cause I like my peace and quiet but if your coming from brisbane then rocky will be quiet for you the shops are great now and 7 day a week trading as well

I am Rach75's sister. Rocky bred here as well.. Don't live there anymore but our mum does.

I went to glenmore High. It was good as schools go I spose. If you have Facebook check out the rocky school sites. I think most of them are on there now..

Primary school.. We went to St Josephs wandal and St anthony's

Rocky is probably very quiet compared to Brisbane but I find the traffic and noise annoying after a few days. I live in a smallish beach town about a hour from Rocky

Ask away with anything else.

Yeap.. also lived in Rocky... & Gracemere... I thought they were both holes HAHAHA

Totally Totally different to Brisbane but I spose it depends on what your after. Personally I was glad to get the hell out of there ... visiting is alright, but thats only cause I know I am not staying there lol
