Great Western Hotel and Rodeo Rockhampton Queensland Australia Great steaks, great beer and great rodeo is what this place is all about. If Rockhampton is dubbed the beef capital of Australia then this place must follow suit. <br />The face lift of this 116 year old pub has certainly paid off, bringing in bigger and bigger crowds all the time. You can enjoy a beer in the front or back bar or taste why they claim to have the best steaks in country in the restaurant. The real highlight though, is the huge undercover rodeo with ample seating for well over a thousand people. This venue draws champion riders from all over Australia and plays host to national competitions. <br />This place is continually expanding with things like Mavericks Western Wear Shop, a saddler and poker saloon.
