Rockhampton

Rockhampton Airport is approximately a 10 minute drive from the town centre with an estimated fare of $16.. Due to limited availability of taxis, it is a good idea to book one prior to arrival. There is a free taxi phone inside the terminal next to the public toilets and also outside the terminal near the taxi rank. You could also take a bus operated by Youngs Bus Service. Car hire is available at the Airport as well.

Emerald Coaches, Rothery’s Coaches and Young’s Buses service the Central Highlands areas, the Capricorn Coast and Gracemere with daily connections from Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Rosslyn Bay and Emu Park. The transfer is inexpensive and offers hassle-free service. KINETIC (formerly Sunbus Rockhampton) provides city connections and there are numerous pickups scattered all over Rockhampton City. The high-speed Tilt Train, run by Traveltrain, travels between Rockhampton and Brisbane.

Uber and Ola are popular ridesharing apps in Rockhampton.

Post offices stay open 9am–5pm on weekdays. Australia Post can be found throughout the city: on East Street, Wandal Road and Canning Street. Post boxes are red and stamps can be obtained in Post Offices.

Australia operates on a 230/240V supply voltage and 50Hz frequency. The country uses Type I power plugs, which feature two flat pins forming a 'V' shape, along with a grounding pin. This standard is also commonly used in New Zealand, Argentina, China, and several Pacific island nations. Remember to pack a universal adapter if your devices use a different plug type to ensure hassle-free charging.
