No. Rockhampton itself has not yet been struck by a major bushfire. However, fairly severe bushfires have hit west of Rockhampton, around the Mount Morgan region in September 2009, and this area seems more prone to fires than other areas, as it is so dry, and there is plenty of vegetation. See the related link for a map of the more bushfire-prone areas around Rockhampton.
Generally, Queensland does not seem to experience severe bushfires like those in Victoria. Humidity is higher, the terrain is different, and vegetation is not as thick.

Can A Bushfire be Predicted?
An actual bushfire cannot be predicted, but bushfire conditions can certainly be predicted. Variables include basic idiocy of humankind, e.g. whether or not arsonists will start the fire; whether or not someone will fully put out a campfire; whether or not someone will throw a lit cigarette butt out of a car window. However, the weather plays an important part in bushfire conditions, and "bushfire danger" warnings vary from low to extreme (and now a new category - "catastrophic" - has been added to the levels).

If caught in a bushfire, the safest place to take refuge is in a designated bushfire shelter or a building made of non-flammable materials.
