Welcome

It is my pleasure to welcome all visitors, whether local or from afar, to the 2012 Rockhampton Show.

Our region’s events calendar is as diverse as it is exciting, and the Rockhampton Show makes a significant contribution to our region’s vision of becoming one of the most liveable communities in the world.

It takes many people to ensure the success of an event such as this, and I congratulate and thank the Show Working committee, the volunteers, staff members and representatives from throughout our community for their contribution in making this event better than ever.

The local Show is a pivotal part of our community life, creating jobs and business, attracting tourists and bringing about a real sense of pride in our community.

It’s no wonder we love living here!

Whether you are from near or far, you and your family will enjoy the entertainment program, the exhibits, and the events of the 2012 Rockhampton Show.
