Shopping & Markets

Shop Till you Drop

From homewares to handbags, saddles to sandals, cute boutiques and fresh farmers markets, Rockhampton's got just about everything on your shopping list.

MUST DO MARKETS

Rockhampton is of course the Beef Capital of Australia, producing some of the best beef but our Region’s sub-tropical climate is also well suited for growing a range of seasonal produce.

On the weekend, car parks and open spaces are transformed into local markets around the region, offering the best local and organic produce as well as handicrafts, home-made items and knick knacks.

We’ve outlined some our favourites that are a must-visit below. For a full list of upcoming markets, check out our events calendar.

Boutique shopping

Nestled amongst the quirky cafes, restaurants and a micro-brewery, Rockhampton's shady tree lined avenue, East Street is a great spot to get your boutique shopping fix. Venture a little further out of the CBD to William Street and Wandal and you'll be even more surprised. Grab a coffee from one of the cafes and spend a morning or afternoon wondering through these fantastic shops, all while admiring the heritage architecture along the way.
