A MURDERER and an armed robber escaped from a central Queensland jail by rolling up a fence.

They are among four wanted men on the run across Queensland.

Tony Dwaine Morgan, 33, who was serving a life sentence for a 1999 murder in Bundaberg, escaped from the low security Capricornia Correctional Centre, north of Rockhampton, on Sunday night.

Fellow escapee, Bradley Thomas Kuhl, 34, was serving a six-year sentence for a 2011 armed robbery in Yeppoon.

Queensland Police Assistant Commissioner Mike Condon said police arrived on the scene near Rockhampton about 25 minutes after being called, and had issued a state-wide alert for the men.

"Early inquiries have identified that they may have rolled up or interfered in some way with the fence at the prison and made their escape," he told reporters in Rockhampton on Monday.

Asked why Morgan was allowed to live on a low-security prison farm, assistant commissioner Condon said it was up to the Department of Corrective Services to rate prisoners' security levels.

Comment from the department has been sought.

Assistant commissioner Condon said detectives were speaking with the prisoners' families, adding that any associates harbouring a fugitive faced a maximum two-year jail term.

A manhunt is also underway for elderly drug cultivator Howard Lindsay, who escaped from a work camp at Blackall, in central western Queensland, and sex offender Stewart James Dawson, who disobeyed a home detention order in inner Brisbane.

The escaped prisoners face a maximum seven-year jail term on top of their sentences.

The public is being urged not to approach the men.
