    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.

    I personally don't find it a hole..

    You make it what you want. There is plenty to see and do in an around the place. It is central to most of QLD Guess thats why it is CQ's capital

    Have you ever been there?

    Shel grew up in Yeppoon. And all she has to say is... When you go up to the lookout and lout out on to Rockhampton, the lights spell "HELL".
    (they actually do, she took me there when she engaged. So romantic )

    you know I have never been able to see it except what they printed in the paper

    I love the lookout at Mt Archer. it is great to go up there when a lightening storm is coming. Fantastic...

    Yeppoon is nice too.
