It's feeding time at the zoo! If you want to be reminded of some of the great animals our world is home to, you might want to pay a trip to Rockhampton Botanic Gardens and Zoo, located 1.7 mi (2.8 km) from central Rockhampton. Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here? If you have fun at Rockhampton Botanic Gardens and Zoo, you'll love Rockhampton Showgrounds and 2nd World War Memorial Aquatic Centre, both located nearby.
