Grab your bags, exit the arrivals hall at Rockhampton, QLD Airport (ROK), and pick up your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Rockhampton, around 2 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something zippy and small. A compact car with good handling will suit those bustling city streets. But with so many things to see, like the picturesque coral reefs of the surrounding region, you may want to add some pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
