About Rossmoya

Rossmoya is a small rural locality in the Capricornia region of Central Queensland, covering approximately 62 square kilometres of mixed grazing and agricultural land near the Fitzroy River system, north-west of Rockhampton. The locality falls within the Rockhampton Regional Council area and is situated in the broad, flat to gently undulating country of the Fitzroy Basin — one of Australia's largest river catchments — supporting cattle grazing and cropping operations. With a population of around 67 residents, Rossmoya is a quiet pastoral community in the productive agricultural hinterland west of Rockhampton.

Rockhampton, the major regional city of Central Queensland, lies approximately 30 to 45 kilometres to the south-east and provides Rossmoya residents with a full range of urban services including hospitals, schools, a university campus, major shopping centres, and Rockhampton Airport with regular flights to Brisbane and other Queensland cities. The Fitzroy River system that surrounds the locality offers recreational fishing and camping opportunities, while the broader Capricornia region is noted for its beef cattle industry — Rockhampton is often called the "Beef Capital of Australia." The locality suits those involved in the beef and agricultural industries or seeking a quiet rural lifestyle near a well-serviced regional city.
