The Fitzroy Basin: Heart of Queensland
The Fitzroy Basin: Heart of Queensland

The Fitzroy Basin is the second largest river system draining to Australia's east coast. It is a large and diverse area with beautiful landscapes, productive agricultural land, and unique plants and animals. The basin includes more than 20,000km of waterways that drain the iconic Great Barrier Reef. Grazing is a major land use, and the city of Rockhampton is known as Australia's beef capital.

Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. Celebrating our 21-year Journey - History Book

The story of Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. (FBA) is as interesting as the Fitzroy river system itself. There have been occasions where the organisation has meandered all over the landscape, many times been an ephemeral state yet always returning to flood due to the hard work and passion of the staff and community. This history book 'Celebrating our 21-year journey' encapsulates the aim of FBA since inception and illustrates our beautiful landscape for all to see.
