Voice of Travelers to Rockhampton

Going back in time in Rockhampton

My name is Adam from Mackay, but originally from Rockhampton. Last holidays, I planned to bring my girlfriend with me to visit Rockhampton and my family for the first time. She was nervous but excited as well. We booked a ticket from QantasLink. During the flight, we were feeling relaxed all the time because of the accommodating plane staff and crew. When we have arrived at Rockhampton, we went and met my parents. They really loved my girlfriend. She loved them as well. After our scrumptious lunch, I toured her around Rockhampton. She particularly loved Rockhampton Heritage Village. We bought an admission ticket to enter the place, but it was worth it once you have explored the place. Touring around the place is like taking you back in time. The staff are knowledgeable on a lot of things regarding the place. My girlfriend loved the place. We will surely visit it again the next time we book a ticket back to Rockhampton.

My name is Florence from Brisbane. An adventure junkie, I always love a little adventure when visiting other cities.

On board the plane, I was accommodated well by the staff and crew of the plane. I could not ask from more. Upon arriving at Rockhampton, I first explored the city before heading to my cousins. I bought a ticket to be able to access the Cathedral Caves found at Capricorn Caves. The place was stunning. The tour guides were likewise interesting and knowledgeable. This was not your everyday cave experience. I enjoyed a good coffee after my tour around the caves. It was an interesting detour. The money I bought for my ticket was worth it.
