Take in some local history at the City Printing Works building.

The first step in the founding of City Printing Works was taken on 2nd May 1903 when 2500 copies of ‘The Critic” were eagerly snatched up by the citizens of Rockhampton and Mount Morgan for one penny a copy, less than two cents. The name was appropriate as it set out to right justice in and better the lives of workers. ‘The Critic’ was a weekly issue and its circulation increased greatly over the years. The Great Depression led to its closure in 1931.

Welcome to the Powerhouse. ⚡️

The centre section of this shed was originally the pattern design shed at Burns & Twiggs Engineering Foundry works. It was moved to Gangalook and then to the Village. In the original building, to reach the top floor, you had to climb up a steel ladder. When the shed came to the Village indoor steps were added to allow access to the second floor.

Menzies Garage display hosts a range of vehicles and vehicle related memorabilia from the early days of motoring to the 1950s. These vehicles have been restored onsite by volunteers and staff of the Rockhampton Heritage Village and are housed in a replica garage. A few of the vehicles are kept in working condition for rides on market days and at events. A real treat for motoring enthusiasts!
