THE SALTY LIME
On September 9 The Salty Lime, a stunning local venue, played host to close to 90 members of our local community who gathered to support the Children's Ward at Rockhampton Hospital.
Roxanne gave a fabulous talk about the farm and its trademark finger limes. Everyone was invited to pick a few. Other speakers, who also did a wonderful job, were Head of the Community Centre, Robyn and also Melinda who is a teacher on the Children's Ward.
Kudos to the local ladies who between them knitted more than 250 bears to give to children affected by ill-health or poor circumstances. In addition to numerous bears, money was raised for the Children's Ward.
WRITING GROUP DEC 2025
WRITING GROUP DEC 2025
Each month we tackle a different challenge. In December the instruction was simply, 'character.'
Unsurprisingly, we all interpreted the brief in our own way and also unsurprisingly, the results made for some engaging reading.

GKI October 2025
GKI October 2025
More than 30 U3A Yeppoon & Rockhampton members enjoyed a day out on Keppel Island on Thursday 16 Oct.
Jo, from the Cap Coast Marine Turtle Group gave an excellent presentation about the turtles in our area, their threats, and the present rehabilitation to Boyne Island.
They have now obtained, through our Shire Council, land beside the Causeway Lake for a new rehabilitation centre.
We enjoyed a lunch of fish and chips and for some a swim in the beautiful clear water.
Our great photographer Isla captured the day, so check out our pics.

What is U3A?
What is U3A?
"Third Age" refers to the period of active retirement, which follows the first age of childhood and formal education and the second age of working life, and which precedes the fourth age of dependence.
The term “University” is used in the original sense of the word - of an association or community of teachers and scholars, united in the pursuit of knowledge.
U3A is a community organisation which promotes healthy ageing by sharing educational, creative and leisure activities provided by their own members.
We ask for no qualification for membership and we award no degrees or diplomas. We are a lively and friendly group offering a wide range of activities and we welcome all seniors to our organisation.
We invite you to explore this website to find out what we offer to seniors along the Capricorn Coast. If you would like to enquire further, please either come along to one of our events, contact one of our committee members or email us at u3acapcoast@gmail.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
