At the 2011 Australian Census the region recorded a total population from the six local government areas of 233,931.
Industry
Economically, Central Queensland is an important centre of primary industries, particularly for food and fibre production. Central Queensland includes the Bowen Basin which is rich in high quality coking coal, the Port of Gladstone produces 40% of the state's export earnings, the Fitzroy River is the second-largest river system in Australia and commands significant water resources such as Fairbairn Dam. Gladstone has a significant aluminium smelter.
The headwaters of the river rise in the Bobby Range, within the Great Dividing Range southwest of Miriam Vale. The river descends from the western slopes of the range and flows generally north by east parallel with the Gladstone-Monto Road through the Boyne Valley. The river enters Lake Awoonga where it flows east by north, crossed by the Bruce Highway near Riverview, and finally discharging into the Port Curtis and the Coral Sea. The river descends 371 metres (1,217ft) over its 125-kilometre (78mi)course, joined by thirteen tributaries from source to river mouth. The mouth is located between the twin towns of Boyne Island and Tannum Sands. A bridge was built to cross the river joining the two towns in 1980.
The river is dammed by the Awoonga Dam which is the major water source for the Gladstone region. The river has a catchment area of 2,496 square kilometres (964sqmi) of which 49 square kilometres (19sqmi) are riverine wetlands and 17 square kilometres (7sqmi) are estuarine wetlands.
The river begins at Wilcox Lake and flows north under the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway line. It passes through Flesherton Community Pond at the community of Flesherton, then exits the pond over a weir and passes under Ontario Highway 10. It continues north and starts to descend the Niagara Escarpment by passing over the Hoggs Falls, named after William Hogg, takes in the right tributary Flesherton Creek, and continues downhill to its mouth at the Beaver River west of the community of Eugenia. The Beaver River flows to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron.
Boyne River is a stream in Northern Michigan, named for the River Boyne in Leinster, Ireland. Together with the north and south branches, the river system has approximately 22 miles (35km) of mainstream and the water basin drains 40,320 acres (163.2km2). Boyne River is Lake Charlevoix's second-largest tributary, after the Jordan River.
Queensland (abbreviated as Qld) is the second-largest and third-most-populous state in Australia. Situated in the north-east of the country, it is bordered by the Northern Territory, South Australia and New South Wales to the west, south-west and south respectively. To the east, Queensland is bordered by the Coral Sea and Pacific Ocean. Queensland has a population of 4,750,500, concentrated along the coast and particularly in the state's South East. The state is the world's sixth largest sub-national entity, with an area of 1,852,642km2. The capital and largest city in the state is Brisbane, Australia's third largest city. Often referred to as the "Sunshine State", Queensland is home to 10 of Australia's 30 largest cities and is the nation's third largest economy.
Doug is a factory worker living in Melbourne who dreams of moving from Melbourne to Queensland. He attempts to reconnect with an old flame, Marge, and move to Queensland together.
John Ruane says he was inspired by a newspaper article about a slaughter man who killed his de facto wife and then got drunk for two days. He decided to remove the killing aspect, concentrate on the relationship. Ruane:
The film was made with money from the Experimental Film and Television Fund while John Ruane was a film student at the Swinburne College of Technology in Melbourne.
Release
The movie was released through the co-operative movement.
The Keppel Islands - Central Queensland - Rockhampton - Yeppoon - Tropical beach - Australia
Great Keppel Island, near the town of Yeppoon in central Queensland, is one of the best island getaways on the Southern Great Barrier Reef. It’s easy to see the appeal, with the option of snorkelling right off the beach or spotting wildlife while hiking its rugged hinterland. Day trips to Great Keppel include aquatic adventures such as boom-netting, or you can stay overnight and admire the magical sunsets and brilliant starry nights that are visible from the sandy shores.

FOSSIKING FOR GEMS in Central Queensland , Australia
Gem fossicking has been on my list for a while and the trip was a must to visit two small towns in Central Queensland.
I have experienced gold panning after growing up in Kalgoorlie in Western Australia but had no idea on what you would look for when panning for Gems.
We headed into Central Queensland towards Emerald a small coal mine 4 hours drive away. It was already hitting 38 degrees at 10 am so we knew it was going to be a hot one.
We stayed in Emerald for 1 night and after a bit to eat headed towards Rubyvale and Sapphire small gem towns only 40 minutes out of Emerald.
Most of the places had closed for the summer months but there was a tourist gem centre open called Pats Gems.
They demonstrated how to pan, what to look for when looking for coloured gems.

They demonstrated how to pan, what to look for when looking for coloured gems.
You are given a bucket of dirt a sieve and tweezers and basically left to go through your bucket of dirty in the hope of finding a gem.
Although we didn’t find anything big enough to brag about , we came home with a few small stones and the experience we can recall to our friends.
If you are travelling in the Central part of Queensland we would recommend to make the extra trip to try this.
