Fondly know at the Village as 'The Church', is St Peter’s Roman Catholic Church. ⛪️

It was built in 1911 and situated just west of Rockhampton at Gracemere and was used for services until 1993. It was then given as a gift from the Rockhampton Catholic Diocese to the Rockhampton Heritage Village.

Step back in time at Woods Cottage 🏠

The slab cottage was built at the caves by the Wood’s Family in the early 1900’s. It was later moved to Gangalook Museum and then to Rockhampton Heritage Village. The construction of this building is typical of the era with large ironbark slabs being hand cut and then dressed by adze and broad axe. Each room is furnished with household items and fittings from the period and has been collected from local families.

Rosewood Homestead 🏠
Another gable-roofed building, the homestead came from a cattle property called ‘Rosewood’ at Wycarbah. Built by the Connor Family about 1880, which makes them over 100 years old. The Connor family donated all furniture and fittings to the village. Rosewood is quite an elaborate horizontal split slab dwelling.

Visit Rackemannn's Cottage. 🏡

Lorna and Donald Rackemannn gave this cottage to the village when they were retiring from their Marlborough cattle property. It had been erected on a 128 acre lot at Wooroolin, in the South Burnett, near Kingaroy. The Rackemanns for sentimental reasons had brought the cottage to ‘Lorna Vale’ near Ogmore. We know the provenance of this cottage as it was constructed by the Rackemanns ancestors’, Hans and Ida Hansen, in 1908. At the time of purchase it comprised the front two rooms and the front verandah.

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.
