Rocky dam bank with a view of a boat on the water

Emerald

Located three hours' drive from Rockhampton, Emerald is the largest town in the Central Queensland Highlands, and is an ideal central base for exploring the region.

Established in 1879, the town is named after a lush green hill (not the gem) and is the gateway to one of the largest sapphire-bearing fields in the world, and the State's second largest lake.
