Rockhampton Forgotten Port City at Rockhampton Art Gallery
Rockhampton
The Forgotten Port City
11 July - 25 October 2015
A Rockhampton Art Gallery exhibition
This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
Rockhampton is well known as the Beef Capital…but back in the days of sail and steam it was one of Queensland’s most prosperous port cities. The Fitzroy River is renowned for bursting her banks and inclined to drastic tides; and the intricate channels made her notoriously difficult to navigate by boat. And yet from the 1850s onwards ships of all sizes and types traversed the Fitzroy from the mouth at Keppel Bay to 40 kilometres upstream to the wharves of Rockhampton. The elegant architecture lining Quay Street on the southern side of the Fitzroy hints at a by-gone era of prosperity and trade, for the city of Rockhampton was once a thriving port.
New Rockhampton Art Gallery and Quay Street Cultural Precinct
The Art Gallery will be an integral pillar in the vibrant cultural hub and community precinct that will activate Rockhampton’s CBD, enrich tourism, and boost economic activity in the region.

The Adventures of William Yaxley
The Adventures of William Yaxley
A Rockhampton Art Gallery touring exhibition
9 April to 29 May 2016
The adventures of William Yaxley presents a survey of an important mid-career Australian artist. As a self-taught artist, Yaxley worked in isolation from Australian art centres to develop an idiosyncratic style. His approach is an instinctive, rather than a learned way of working, enabling Yaxley to visually communicate the essence of a place.
Yaxley is a story-teller, and his paintings depict idyllic scenes of farming life in both Central Queensland and Tasmania, but also of his travels around Australia.
He concentrates on the elements of texture, shape, colour, and movement, which he combines with an aerial perspective to depict regional locations and subject matter with an irreverent sense of humour.
This combination of larrikinism, sense of irony in the everyday, and an essentially raw approach to painting and sculpture, mark out Yaxley as an artist with a truly unique vision.
The Adventures of William Yaxley is touring to Ipswich Art Gallery and will be on display from 11 June to 7 August 2016.
Rockhampton Carnarvon Gorge .mpg
About 5 hrs drive out west of Rockhampton is the Carnarvon National Park. The main walking track is along the floor of the Carnarvon gorge. Criss-crossing the carnarvon creek many times this track leads to many off shoot that allow exploration of facinating side gorges. Permanent water has drawn people to the gorge for thousands of years. Fragile artwork graces the sandstone cliff faces under massive overhangs. 230 million years ago dinosaurs roamed the area. The walls of the canyon depict the sandstone layers slowly eroded down to the water tight shale layer. A unique remnant of an anchient forest. Well worth a visit.
