Ripper night in Rocky

Jodie_O, Feb 2026

Have water and reasonable walking shoes, for a warm Rocky evening. I wish I’d remembered to take more photos.

Interesting historical experience around Rockhampton city. Love seeing the city in a new perspective at night.

Nope, that's not right

Far fetched, totally unbelievable made up stories. The guide clearly had done some research on his various characters but after hearing the Jack the Ripper story and knowing it to be far from the truth, I began questioning everything he'd said. If you want ridiculously contrived stories, this is your tour, he's a great spinner of yarns. But if you want truth, this isn't for you.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Terribly sorry you did not enjoy your visit and found a GHOST tour implausible? Its absolutely fine not to agree with any findings or information presented but I DO TAKE ISSUE WITH "MADE UP". Every single story told on the tour is HISTORICALLY accurate and can be backed up with documentation...or even a very simply search... Its ok to disagree with our findings but to outrageously claim we made ANYTHING up is simply wrong. As for the Jack the Ripper link - this has been thoroughly investigated and every single item mentioned is historical true... not to say is factually true, but has historical evidence! also, the very last thing I ask on every tour "Is it POSSIBLE Jack the Ripper lived in Rockhampton?' So I ask the question
