Tropic Of Capricorn Marker The Tropic of Capricorn crosses the Stuart Highway 30 kilometers north of town. There is a monument marking the spot and a parking area. The Tropic separates the tropic (to the north) and temperate zones. It passes through Rockhampton on the east coast of Queensland. The Tropic of Capricorn Marker, a Bicentennial community project, is set back 15 metres from the road, along the Stuart Highway 30 kilometers north of Alice Springs. In 1987 the local Alice Springs newspaper ran a competition for a design to replace the Tropic of Capricorn marker. The winning design was submitted by a local resident, it consists of a stylised globe of the world on top of a slanted pole around 6.5 metres high. A local artist was commissioned to carve the Capricorn goats into either side of the cement base and the new marker was officially opened late 1988. Facilities: • BBQ Facilities
