Fitzroy River, Rockhampton, Queensland.

Quay Street in Rockhampton mostly follows the Fitzroy River, it's catchment covers an area of 142,665 square kilometers, making it the largest river catchment flowing to the eastern coast of Australia.
The lower reaches of the river are home to salt water crocodiles.  In 2003 a crocodile measuring more than 4 meters (13ft) long was captured.  The most diverse range of freshwater fish in the country are found within the Fitzroy basin.


Walking along Quay Street this is the view.


The River has flooded many times over the years and below is the measure of the floods including the years.
