Fitzroy is located on the Tropic of Capricorn and covers an area of some 6000 square kilometres. Meandering through the Shire is the magnificent Fitzroy River. Its vast 300 kilometres provides the life blood to the area and gives the Shire its name as The Big River Shire.
Fitzroy's proximity to Rockhampton, the capital of Central Queensland, and the beautiful Capricorn Coast make it an ideal place to live and play.
