Image:Nata4.pngThe Capricorn Highway is located in Central Queensland, Australia, and links the city of Rockhampton with western Queensland. The highway is approximately 560 kilometres long, and joins the Landsborough Highway at Barcaldine. Formerly National Route 66, it now signed as A4. The highway runs parallel with the Tropic of Capricorn, hence its name.
Other towns situated along the highway include (from east to west): Gracemere, Westwood, Duaringa, Dingo, Blackwater, Emerald, Bogantungan, Alpha and Jericho.
Running virtually east/west, the highway traverses the area known as the Central Highlands, and crosses the Great Dividing Range to the west of Bogantungan.
