The Cemetery Night Walk guides participants through Rockhampton’s Southside Cemetery, visiting graves featured in prior ghost and murder walks and sharing documented accounts of soldiers, troubled souls and notable events.

The RockHampton Historic Day Tour is a one-hour walk across the Riverside Precinct, highlighting the city’s largest collection of heritage buildings and narratives about bushrangers, bank heists and wartime efforts. The Ghost, Murder and Jack the Ripper Night Walk is a one-hour evening tour beginning at the Criterion Hotel that explores Rockhampton’s earliest murder and links to wider historical crime narratives. DARK ROCKHAMPTON is a 1.5-hour adults-only tour focusing on gruesome murders, suicides and accidents.
Time Safaris presents guided, themed walks that rely on local sources, a named expert for the prehistoric tour, and fixed starting locations, providing clear, bookable experiences for visitors to Rockhampton. Tours are suitable for visitors interested in history, fossils, and after-dark storytelling and culture.
