The Rockhampton Model Aero Club was officially inaugurated on Friday the 06/12/1947. However, the history of our club can be traced back to winter 1936 and to Don J. Millroy, essentially the clubs first member. The clubs history has been expertly compiled by club stalwart Hubert de Chastel and is supported by Newspaper articles and Photographs. This publication, which not only documents our clubs history, also provides a window into the past history of our district and can be obtained from Hubert.

In the past the club utilised several flying fields. However, in 1978 the organisation procured land on River Road and established our permanent home "Gavial Creek". Our club compound includes a large toilet block, barbeque area and covered pit area complete with transmitter pound and frequency control board. Flying facilities include, main and cross strips, pylon strip and a control line circle.

Flying facilities are used by our members throughout the year and provide a safe flying venue recognised by our State and National Associations and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia. The club is fortunate to have  skilled Instructors available to provide expert training and advise for beginners and advanced flyers alike. A club meeting is held every month and a monthly newsletter is published to keep our members up to date with the latest club matters.

The club welcomes spectators and interested members of the public.
