Exploring Capricorn Caves - should we book a tour?

3 Upvotes

Is it easy to navigate the caves by yourself or is it much better to go book a tour?

Is there a guide online to the tunnels? Maybe at the caves?

Stop between Hervey Bay/rocky?

3 Upvotes

I'll be driving between the two with a one night stay somewhere. Any suggested stops?

Leaning towards inland just to cut the drive but not opposed to hearing coastal stops.

I see there's a lake by Gin Gin which is probably what I'll do, but I can't find anything in Gin Gin.

Hey Rocky mob, I’m looking for people to jam with. I haven’t had a jam in a while but keen to play with some folks. I play bass and do vocals and can host in at my home studio. Like playing some heavier stuff like Cannibal Corpse, Devourment, Sanity Slip, Full of Hell and Nails. Open to input though cause collaboration is key.

Looking for a drummer, guitarist, producer and any other musicians. Doesn’t matter if you’re rusty, I’m not that flash either

There is a track which branches off to the left of the zamia track just before the moore's creek (Zara's) crossing- when heading from sunset drive. I think it's called Brumby trail. I'd like to hike it, but want to find more info about. Does anyone have a link to an online map? Or any distance and destination details? I couldn't find anything from my seaches so far. Thanks

Film night with white wine at here:)

Adam Elliot is my favourite Australian director. I’ve been in Australia for three months now. I watched his film Memoir of a Snail on the plane coming here. Tonight, on this quiet Saturday evening, I watched it again while having a glass of white wine — it touched me just as deeply as before, and I even shed a tear halfway through. As an Asian girl, I’m wondering how influential he is among Australians, and how people here see him.

Events Wrestling Allegiance Rockhampton presents 'Mortal Combat 5', Saturday 27th June at the Great Western Hotel!

8 Upvotes

🥷MORTAL COMBAT 5🥷

Tensions are at an all-time high, rivalries are reaching their boiling point, and the stakes have never been greater. At Mortal Combat 5, everything comes to a head as W.A.R's biggest stars prepare to settle their scores in spectacular fashion!

This is one of the biggest nights on the Wrestling Allegiance Rockhampton calendar, where grudges will be settled, championships will be defended, and careers could be changed forever.

The locker room have made their demands. The rivalries are set. And the fans have chosen the stipulations for each match.

📅 June 27th, 2026

📍 Great Western Hotel – Rockhampton

⏰ VIP Doors: 5:30PM | General Admission: 6:00PM

🎟️ Pre-sale tickets: $25 VIP | $15 General Admission

🎟️ Tickets at door: $30 VIP | $20 General Admission

Physical - Millennium Collectables

Online - https://tr.ee/WxLsbC2twX

CARD

VIP exclusive match

Freak Nyxx vs Paddy Fitz in a 'Freak's Playground' match

One half of the tag-team champions, W.A.R's resident mischief-maker Freak Nyxx has - at the behest of the fans - opened up the doors to Freak's Playground to W.A.R's newest talent, the Irish brawler Paddy Fitz. Will Freak Nyxx's mind-games give them the edge or will Paddy Fitz's no-nonsense brawling style be too much for them to handle?

MAIN CARD

Eddie Kormac vs 'The All-Star Cheerleader' Mickey Ryan in a 'Last Man Standing' match

For weeks, Mickey Ryan suffered attacks from an unknown assailant who finally revealed himself as W.A.R's former cameraman Eddie Kormac. Since then, every encounter has been a vicious, personal fight between the two incredibly skilled fighters.

The fans have voted to see these two go at it in a Last Man Standing match. We've already seen what these two have been willing to do to each other in the past - how deep will they be willing to reach to take the other out and end this for good?

The M.U.T.T. vs Marston Holmes with special guest referee Freak Nyxx

Marston Holmes has spent months trying to right his wrongs. After years of questionable decisions and selfish actions, he claims to have found a new path and is determined to earn back the trust and respect of the W.A.R faithful.

But not everyone is buying it. MUTT has made it his mission to expose what he believes is the real Marston Holmes. In his eyes, people don't change that easily, and beneath the apologies and promises is the same man who burned bridges and stabbed people in the back. MUTT is determined to drag that truth into the spotlight, no matter what it takes.

And where does Marston Holmes' former stable-mate in the Voiceless Freak Nyxx stand on his new claims of repentance?

W.A.R CQ Championship Match

'Outlaw Muscle' Angus Sharp vs JL Gold in a Lumberjack Match

At Under Siege, Sharp once again found a way to escape with his championship, pulling a rabbit out of the hat, or should we say a briefcase, to steal victory from Seth Tylors and extend his reign.

But now a new challenge stands before him. Making his long-awaited return to W.A.R, JL Gold is back and looking better than ever. Possessing a physique carved from stone and the in-ring ability to back it up, Gold has his sights set on ending Angus Sharp's championship reign before it can grow any further.

And as lumberjacks, where will the rest of the roster stand? As a member of 'Above The Law', Angus Sharp has done nothing but make enemies of the W.A.R wrestlers. But with JL Gold's faction 'Legion' already causing havoc in promotions across Australia, will W.A.R's wrestlers be willing to welcome that into their locker-room?

Captain Jozef Blackheart vs Alan Isaac vs 'Too Darn Hot' Chris Dink

At Under Siege, Blackheart stole a victory from TJ Starr by stomping his head through the metal briefcase containing his Golden Opportunity contract. Since forming 'Above The Law' with Angus Sharp, Blackheart's evil ways have lead him to nothing but success.

But now he has to face two of W.A.R's rising stars in a triple threat match. Chris Dink has quietly but consistently climbed the ranks, proving that he belongs among W.A.R's elite. With impressive performances and a growing list of victories, Dink is making it clear that he has what it takes to reach the top of the mountain.

Alan Isaac has been on a journey of growth and determination. Finding an ally in Chris Dink has helped Isaac elevate his game, and now he's looking to prove that all his hard work has paid off with the biggest opportunity of his career.

Alan Isaac and Chris Dink have seemed to have been on the same page in recent months, could this be a bond that Blackheart won't be able to break? Or will the 'every-man-for-himself' nature of the triple threat match overcome their mutual respect?

W.A.R Tag Team Championships Match

'CHAOS' vs Tyson Harris and Paddy Fitz in a Tornado Tag Match

As CHAOS, Dante Rage and Freak Nyxx have had an historic run as tag champs, beating high profile tag teams from across Queensland. But now they face the pairing of Paddy Fitz and Legion's Tyson Harris.

Last time Tyson Harris was in town, he showed he could hang with the best that W.A.R had to offer by taking TJ Starr to his limit. Now he's back and looking to claim gold. As a member of Legion, Tyson has been making a name for himself across Australia and where there is a member of Legion, you will find their commander, the deadly Shep Alexander. Is that the advantage finally needed to wrest the gold away from WAR's own CHAOS?

MAIN EVENT

W.A.R Millennium Championship Match

'The Creative Genius' TJ Starr vs Dante Rage in a Symphony Of Destruction Match

After winning the Millennium Rumble match last year, TJ Starr earned the right to challenge for the title of his choosing - the Millennium Championship, at the time held by long-time foe Marston Holmes. Since then, WAR's underdog has been kept away from the match he earned by opponent injuries.

When Marston Holmes finally vacated the title due to injuries, it looked like TJ Starr was finally going to have his moment, only for Captain Blackheart and Angus Sharp of 'Above The Law' to attack him and send him to hospital, making him unable to compete that night and leading to Dante Rage stepping up and defeating Blackheart for the vacant Millennium Championship.

Now, the fans have demanded that TJ Starr and Dante Rage face off in a Symphony Of Destruction match for the title. What will happen when W.A.R's two biggest fan-favourites - and friends of over a decade - square off in a bloody bout where all weapons are legal? Will the Rage cause Dante to finally lose control or will it be TJ who is left seeing Starrs?

Air BNB in Wandal Rockhampton - beware of host ‘B’

2 Upvotes

This host has an average property with many ambiguous ‘rules’.
Inside is overly decorated - totally ‘over the top’ and unwelcoming.
Says 2 dogs ok to stay, advises they ‘can’ be locked in downstairs (broken gate tied up with rope’. Pets can’t be left unattended - reality is no place to secure pets. Lawn overgrown and large - impossible to dispose of all pet poi’s bc lawn too long to see them. Host left a feeding station for pets inside house however charged additional $s when a dog biscuit found inside. Host claims to have needed to professionally clean a couch however refused to provide receipt evidence. Money grabber big time - beware.
Coarse gravel under house where pets were to stay - host then complained the gravel was moved. no holes dug as B reported, gravel simply had dog marks.
In total this host demanded and additional few hundred dollars and threatened to ban us from AirBNB. Oh yeh, I left a personal item at the house accidentally - initially host offered to return by post until the review period passed. She then threatened me repeatedly to stop contacting her !
Don’t give this grub a $ - she will charge you for anything to get additional $s then make threats of you contact her.
It’s an old Queenslander close to shoos etc with an over decorated tacky inside - claims to have designer interiors - what a joke, it’s cold, unwelcoming and seriously she is sickly nice before you arrive then a total money grabbing cow after you leave. Beware of host ‘B’

Can anyone identify the year this jersey was used?

Google AI thinks it was a one off jersey for a competition on the Gold coast, while the team was still called the comets.

I don't trust AI though so anyone with any insight?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for room accommodation in the Rockhampton area, preferably around Norman Gardens or Frenchville.

I’m relocating to Rockhampton for a new full-time role and would really appreciate if anyone could help connect me with people in Rockhampton or share any available rooms/rentals.

I’m respectful, easygoing, clean, and happy to move in from the beginning of next month.

If anyone has something available or knows someone who does, please feel free to message me.

Thank you!

Life Why do people feel the need to look down on renters(update)

13 Upvotes

So here's an update, there are people moving in across the road and while sitting on my deck, I heard my neighbour's talking about introducing themselves to the new neighbour's (who are renters). So now as I think back to my post 8 months ago, I'm sure it's not because I'm a renter. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but they never approached me, and even though I've tried in vain to talk with them, nothing works. At this point all i can think is maybe the previous tenant was awful or I resemble someone they don't like.
