  Experience real Australia in Rockhampton, where the outback meets the reef. Positioned on the Tropic of Capricorn, Rockhampton marks the start of the tropical north and is the gateway to the Southern Great Barrier Reef. As Australia's beef capital, "Rocky" has held on to its roots as a true-blue Australian city with a quirky atmosphere and small town appeal. Rockhampton is the perfect location to discover Australia’s native wildlife and scenery with stunning beaches, botanic gardens and animal habitats all within reach. The sub-tropical climate with summer rains and mild sunny winters, not to mention the large kangaroo population on campus, have made Rockhampton a popular destination with students from all over the world.

  CQ University offers international students a number of extracurricular activities and excursions. These include trips to local attractions such as a crocodile farm and Great Keppel Island. In addition, the Rockhampton campus has a number of clubs and societies available for sports, special interests and academics.
