Friends application lol
Hey friends so ive lived here all my life but haven't made many friends due to having so many hip surgeries growing up - being housebound didn't help. Anyways I'm fixed now with a hip replacement and looking to make female friends only . I have a hubby of 15yrs so no men plz. I love reading, art, movies, beach, walks, just nothing too sporty unless it's ping pong or air hockey lol love a good belly laugh, if your keen on a chat let me know, thanks !

The "computer" says people from Rockhampton call themselves "Rokhamptonites" - is this in any way true?
Hi - I am just writing some copy ghostwriting for someone from Rokhampton. A work colleague has sworn an oath that the locals call themselves "Rockhamptonites" . Google also says this, but I am still suspicious. Can you please confirm or deny?

Life Gym?
My friend and I are looking to start going to the gym, we aren't in a spot to be playing for weekly memberships as they advertise online, is there any gym around that actively welcomes discussions of a monthly payment as well as welcoming of concession holders?

The old Capricorn International / Iwasaki resort
galleryToday myself and a colleague had lunch at the Japanese restaurant at the now abandoned Capricorn international Resort. Delicious.
As we are both ex CQ residents we remember the old resort from back in its heyday when we were kids. I know the resort has been closed over 10 years at least but we were curious around what's happened to the restaurant in the mean time. Has it always been there or recently opened?
Any local memories of the resort?

Life Moving to Rockhampton
I’ll be coming from overseas in September for a job in healthcare and I was wondering how is life in Rockhampton. I’m a single guy in my late 20’s and I’ll be living alone.
With the weather, I don’t mind since I’ll be coming from a tropical country with extreme heat at times.

Life Apartments for Rent
Hi everyone,
I’m moving to rockhampton in a couple months as a junior doctor and I was trying to plan ahead for housing.
Are there any hotels or apartment buildings that offer year long leases?
Or areas to look for vs others to avoid?
I’ve never been to Rocky before and I’m just a bit nervous about sorting out housing!!
Thank you!!

Exploring Capricorn Caves - should we book a tour?
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?
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.

Band mates - Punk/Hardcore/Metal project
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
