With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Rockhampton, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Aboriginal Dreamtime Cultural Centre, Stockland Shopping Centre and Pilbeam Theatre. Don’t miss Gladstone either! Just 55 miles away, Gladstone Marina, William Golding Memorial Lookout and Barney Point Beach are must-sees here.
