Rockhampton is iirc not that far from town, but it has been
reloacted at some point in it's life, the old platform is still in
existance slightly closer to town.

The 'new' Cairns is effectively a block further out, but you do
have to circumnavigate some sleezy shopping centre though.

Boo hiss........  The current station is in as good a location as
you could ask for, within walking distance of the CBD.

That overlooks another problem relocating the station out of town,
it becomes much less convenient to sleaze down to the station and
inspect the passing traffic...

Proserpine is good in that respect.
