07.01.2022 Today marks 10 Years since the devastating 2011 Fitzroy River floods. Water from the west flowed down the Fitzroy River, flooding Rockhampton. The airport was closed and the Bruce and Capricorn Highways were shut, with water over the road in many locations. Rocky was isolated, and supplies ran low, with transport unable to reach it. Although the water peaked at 9.2 metres on January 4, the Fitzroy remained above 8.5 metres for well over a week.

07.01.2022 Barra Season is OPEN for the Fitzroy River! 2021 has officially kicked off.

05.01.2022 And this is why we have the Barra Season closures each year - to give this awesome species time to breathe, reproduce and provide plenty of action for the following season. It is such an important part of the cycle to leave them be for a few months and let nature take care of business!
