Default Gracemere, Rockhampton
Anyone live here, or know the area?

Was wondering if anyone could give any thoughts or comments on the area for a family with 2 school age kids. Just curious

Thanks

Lot of roos on the rocky yeppoon road in the morning and evening. 20-25 mins to North Rocky, getting through Rocky takes a bit of patience though. Hate going there.... too many traffic lights lol

I have only ever really passed through the place so i couldnt give a personal point of view, apart from it looks nice, but this may help http://www.locationlowdown.com.au/se...LD/Rockhampton . When i first went through all the immigration stuff back in 1997 i had to attend the immigration dept when it was situated in Sydney at the rocks and the bloke who was my case officer was a bloke called...Rock Hampton! seriously.
