Gai-i (previously known as Mount Wheeler) is a small mountain situated between Rockhampton and Yeppoon in the state of Queensland, Australia.
Many indigenous groups from the region would meet at this site to exchange tools and arrange marriages.
[3] More recently Mt Wheeler became something of a lookout spot for scenic views during the 20th century,[3] and has been used as a Recreation Reserve for bushwalking and mountain biking.
[4] According to local historians, Gai-i was given the name Mount Cock’s Comb by Captain Cook in 1770.
Although some have suggested it was named after Frederick Wheeler, an inspector with the Native Police, who is alleged to have been involved in a massacre of Aboriginal people at the site, forcing them to jump off the cliffs by the hundreds - archival evidence suggests it was more likely named such after Gold Commissioner John Wheeler who worked in the area during the 1860s.
