This last weekend I flew North from Brisbane to Rockhampton with the Ipswich FORCE and Gold Coast ROLLERS QBL teams, along with several Basketball Queensland staff, to photograph the Queensland Basketball League mens 2012 Finals. Other teams participating in the finals were the Mackay METEORS and the Rockhampton ROCKETS
During some free time on Friday I took a quick drive up Mount Archer for a view of the town and the Fitzroy River (Queenslands largest), and some of the surrounding country. Rockhampton sits astride a large river delta near the East Coast and is surrounded by mountains of the Great Dividing range. The farmland is rich and hosts some of the most intense beef farming in Australia. I've never seen meet freezers so large in supermarkets - undoubtably 'Rocky' has some of the best value beef in the country.
Here's some images from the finals series - which was won by the Mackay METEORS who beat the hometown favourites, the Rcokhampton ROCKETS.
More images are available at my website under the Sport link.
