Rockhampton, the Beef Capital of Australia, is located on the Tropic of Capricorn and is the gateway to the Coast and the Outback (Gateway being the key word here). The town it's self was deserted apart from the odd plastic statue of a bull which are dotted around the place paying homage to the largest stud-selling venue in the Southern Hemisphere. Interesting I know.
Wandering around the town was not dissimilar to that of the opening scene to 28 Days Later. Not a person or vehicle in sight, the only sign of life was the occasional Hells Angel riding past like a hairy zombie in search of it's next kebab.
So it appeared there was only one real reason why anyone who's livelihood is something other than beef farming would ever venture to Rockhamton, and that, we found out is to visit Great Keppel Island. So we did...pronto.
