The 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, Queensland began to convert to the alphanumeric system much of Australia had adopted in the early-2000s and is now designated 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 between Alpha and Jericho.
Ain?t no island, no sandy beach
No waborita in my reach
But I can feel it, sure as I was born
Way down in the Tropic of Capricorn
I smell your body, feel your heat
You touch my senses, ooo, wee
I climb your mountain, slide into your arms
Into the Tropic of Capricorn
I wanna live, wanna love
Find myself that little piece of paradise
I wanna fly, leaving yesterday
And wake up in the high of a paradise
State of mind
It?s what you?re thinking, what ya feel
'Cause what you?re seeing
Ain?t really real
In three dimensions or maybe more
Baby, I got what you?re looking for
I wanna live, wanna love
Find myself that little piece of paradise
I wanna fly, leaving yesterday
And wake up in the high of a paradise
State of mind
Ooh, tropical paradise
Ooh, tropical state of mind
Ooh, tropical paradise
Gonna wake up in the high
Wake up in the heat of paradise
Let it shine for every mother
Let it shine for every son
Let it shine for every body
Let it shine on every one
Let it be for those who want it
Bad enough I?ll give you mine
Just let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine
I wanna live, wanna love
An find myself that little piece of paradise
I wanna fly, I?m leaving yesterday
Gonna wake up in the high
Gonna wake up in the heat
Gonna wake up in paradise
Down in the Tropic, down in the Tropic
Down in the Tropic, down in the Tropic, down
