Park Avenue

Park Avenue, a suburb of Rockhampton North, is two km north of central Rockhampton. The origin of the name is uncertain, although Queens Park on the northern shore of the Fitzroy River may have had a part in it. The Park Avenue housing estate (1924) came well after the name, and the local primary school (1901) carried the name at or soon after its opening.
