With the traditional Ramadan fasting period now over for the year, the new halal options are sure to become popular.

CQUniversity's long history of welcoming Muslim staff and students has also helped make the wider regional community more cosmopolitan. There is now a thriving Islamic Society of Central Queensland and a Rockhampton Mosque has been established for several years on the corner of Fitzroy and Kent streets.
