Rocksberg
About Rocksberg
A rural suburb in the Moreton Bay Region, Rocksberg is surrounded by the suburbs of Ocean View, Campbells Pocket, Upper Caboolture and Moorina.
Rocksberg Park Heritage Reserve nestled in the upper reaches of the Caboolture Rivers has long been a local hotspot for family picnics and a quick paddle. The park features several benches, a picnic shelter, a bin and a barbecue.
History of Rocksberg
First settled in the early-mid 1800s, Rocksberg received its name from the property used by the Zillman family, German settlers who turned to farming in the region. In the 1840s, European settlers blazed a trail to connect the region and their farms to Brisbane, creating what is now known as Old North Road. Through this road, many families decided to take up home in Rocksberg and tried to establish farms, homes and eventually, built a community. Old North Road, however, quickly became a heavily used route until it was later supplanted by a road closer to the coast (Old Gympie Road) until that too was replaced by the Bruce Highway as the main road.
