about the area

The Capricorn Coast offers a haven for golden beaches, pristine waters, tranquil rainforests and dramatic sunsets. Yeppoon is situated 38km north east of Rockhampton and is the largest town in the Capricorn Coast region. There is plenty to see and do in Yeppoon such as enjoying a coffee in town at one of the numerous cafes and restaurants, taking a stroll along the beach or you can venture out on a short drive to the beautiful Byfield National Park for a serene walk amongst the rainforest or a swim in the creek.

Off the coast of Yeppoon, lies the infamous Keppel Islands. Great Keppel Island in particular is a popular destination for tourists to experience paradise with its crystal clear waters, pearly white sands and beautiful bush walks. To get to Great Keppel Island it is only a 20 minute boat trip from the Yeppoon harbour, which is the largest harbour north of Brisbane and a sort after stop-off point for keen sailors and fisherman.

Yeppoon was once a sleepy little village but now is boasting with life as an area of choice for many Australians. Numerous developers have discovered this unparallelled town and are providing more infrastructure and housing to take advantage of the spectacular views and idyllic seaside lifestyle. As of 2006, the Livingstone Shire which covers Yeppoon, Emu Park and other small neighbouring towns had a population of 30,637 permanent residents.
